Hi, sorry if this has been answered a hundred times but I haven't had
much luck finding this in the archives.
For this xml:
<xtf:snippets>
That isn't XML because it isn't well-formed due to the absence of the
namespace declaration for "xtf".
... I want to write an xpath that will select just the numeric value
of 5 for the attribute hitNum, based on its being a sibling attribute
of rank="1". However, I can't get any closer than selecting the whole
xtf:snippet element. This are a couple ways of accessing that
inadequate result:
/xtf:snippets/xtf:snippet[(_at_)rank='1']/attribute::hitNum
/xtf:snippets/xtf:snippet[(_at_)rank='1']/@hitNum
Works for me! I wouldn't change a thing.
