That only gives me the total number of child elements of the document
elements, I think...?
(The result was 14 in this case).
I have a document with a structure like this
<Top>
<A>
<Achild></Achild>
<Achild></Achild>
<A>
<B>
<Bchild></Bchild>
<Bchild></Bchild>
...
<B>
...
</Top>
And what I'm actually looking for in this case, is a list of the top
level element names ("A" and "B" in my example) together with a count of
their children.
I have tried to google up examples of XQuery expressions to do this
today, but I haven't had any success in creating the desired results.

Hm... I selected a second level element in the Map, filtered it, and
typed "select *" in the command window, and the upper right corner shows
"0 Results".

It's a step on the way. Thanks! :-)

No experience with XQuery prior to today, but a fair amount of XSLT
experience (which implies familiarity with XPath) back in 2000-2005 or
thereabouts. But it's been a while.
