19. range vs. range-inside: root

This tutorial is obsolete. Please, use the new one.

Description

Here the results are identical. The range function returns ranges covering the locations in the argument location-set. For each location x in the argument location-set, a range location representing the covering range of x is added to the result location set. The range-inside function returns ranges covering the contents of the locations in the argument location-set.



Range function
For the root location, the container node of the start point and end point of the covering range is the root node; the index of the start point of the covering range is 0; and the index of the end point of the covering range is the number of children of the root location.

    Text in the first element BBB.</BBB>

  • X marks point (zero width)
  • This style marks the container node.
  • This style marks resulting locations.
  • X marks collapsed range (zero width)


Range-inside function
If the argument is not a range, than it is used as a container location of the start- and end-points of the resulting range. In this example the container is / (root element).
