I came up with this XPath expression:
//p[o:p eq ' '][count(following-sibling::*[position() le 10][name()
eq 'p'][o:p eq ' ']) ge 10][1]
It says, "Give me the first <p> element containing a non-blocking space
character such that there are at least 10 <p> elements that immediately
follow it, each containing a non-blocking space character." At least,
that's what I think it says. Note: 10 is an arbitrary number.
1. Do you see any problems with the XPath expression?
I think that, your XPath expression should be following,
//p[o:p eq ' '][count(following-sibling::*[name() eq 'p'][o:p eq
' ']) ge 10][1]
(not tested)
The predicate [position() le 10] occurring for the first time in your
expression, doesn't seem to be needed.
2. Is there a better XPath expression?
I could visually inspect / review Mike Kay's expression, and can say that
its correct.
