Hi Dan,

Turns out you are right - I had been using oxygen's xpath evaluator and it kept returning the whole node rather than the attribute value I wanted, and I perhaps foolishly trusted to that.


oXygen gives the following result for selecting the attribute with
/xtf:snippets/xtf:snippet/@hitNum

SystemID: /Users/george/test/test.xml
Severity: info
Description: /xtf:snippets[1]/xtf:snippet[1]/@hitNum - 5
Start location: 2:4
End location: 2:49

and it highlights the start tag if you click in the result.

If the element is selected with /xtf:snippets/xtf:snippet then it gives

SystemID: /Users/george/test/test.xml Severity: info Description: /xtf:snippets[1]/xtf:snippet[1] - MS Clark Library, University of . 40 Albion Street Broadstairs | Start location: 2:4 End location: 7:18

and it highlights the whole element, up to the end of its end tag if you click on the result.

I hope this helps you identify when you have the whole node or an attribute value.

Best Regards,
George
