Unexpected to me, at least.
I've been familiarizing myself with XPath for a project by browsing
around the Internet with the Firefox extension XPath Checker.
On this page:
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/A.I.
... I tried the following:
id('bodyContent')/h2/following-sibling::*[position()<count(following-sibling::p[1]/preceding-sibling::*)
- count(preceding-sibling::*)]
... which I expected to select the 7 ul elements following the
specified h2. The next query DOES do that:
id('bodyContent')/h2[1]/following-sibling::*[position()<count(id('bodyContent')/h2[1]/following-sibling::p[1]/preceding-sibling::*)
- count(id('bodyContent')/h2[1]/preceding-sibling::*)]
The stuff I had to add in I had expected was already present as the
context node. Why was I wrong?
