I'm somehow stuck on how to translate txpath syntax to sxpath syntax
#lang racket (require sxml)(require sxml/html)
(define doc(html->xexp"<AAA>
<BBB>
<CCC/>
<ZZZ/>
</BBB>
<XXX>
<DDD>
<EEE/>
<FFF>
<HHH/>
<GGG>
<JJJ>
<QQQ/>
</JJJ>
<JJJ/>
</GGG>
<HHH/>
</FFF>
</DDD>
</XXX>
<CCC>abcdefg
<DDD/>
</CCC>
</AAA>"))
((txpath"/aaa/xxx/preceding::*")doc); expect bbb, ccc, zzz
((sxpath'(//ccc/descendant-or-self::*))doc)
I tried a bunch of variations for sxpath:
((sxpath'(// ccc '(descendant-or-self )))doc)
((sxpath'(// ccc '(/ descendant-or-self )))doc)
((sxpath'(// ccc / descendant-or-self::*))doc)
~/.racket/6.1.1/pkgs/sxml/sxml/doc/sxml/sxpath.html
"Like sxpath, but only accepts an XPath query in string form, using the
standard XPath syntax.
Deprecated; use sxpath instead."
I'd like to get the other axes and accessors working but now that I've
spent some time on this I REALLY want to know what my blind spot is here.
