i used the former instead of the later, i'm having an
error on the for statement in select (not a valid
XPATH 2.0 expression).
It os valid (I checked) of course you need to declare the num: namespace
prefix 9to anything)
I can't use this because the head element is of mixed
content type
That's OK as the string value of the element still has the roman numeral
as the first word. In your example it was a newline not a space so you
probably want
$ParentInfo//div/head[substring-before(normalize-space(.),'')=$strRoman].
Of course if your roman numerals are _always_ in a hi element as they
are in your sample it's even easier, you don't need substring at all,
just
$ParentInfo//div/head[hi[1]=$strRoman].
