XPointer tutorial

Full XPointer expression may consist of one or more XPointer parts. (Or Schemes, but currently only XPointer scheme is allowed). Separation with whitespaces is not mandatory. The result of the first XPointer part whose evaluation (in left-to-right order) succeeds is taken to be the fragment located by XPointer as a whole.

XPointer: xpointer(//AAA/BBB[1]) xpointer(//AAA/BBB[2])

XPointer (alternative): xpointer(//AAA/BBB[1])xpointer(//AAA/BBB[2])

<AAA>
   <BBB myid="b1" bbb="111">
     Text in the first element BBB.</BBB>
   <BBB myid="b2" bbb="222">
      Text in another element BBB.
     <DDD ddd="999">
       Text in more nested element.</DDD>
     <DDD ddd="888">
       Text in more nested element.</DDD>
     <DDD ddd="777">
       Text in more nested element.</DDD>
   </BBB>
   <CCC ccc="123" xxx="321">
     Again some text in some element.</CCC>
</AAA>
