and how can i access a subelement without using its name ?
The node test for an element of any name is "*", so to access the value of
the third child and you don't care for the name of the children would be:
select="*[3]"
This node test is often used to check if the immediately preceding or
following element is of a particular type, first by finding the closest of
any name and then checking to see if that one is of the type you are
looking for, in this case "is my immediately preceding sibling a figure
element?":
test="preceding-sibling::*[1][self::figure]"
I hope this helps.
