Bayesian Filter detected spam - Bayesian Filter detected spam


Actually, while we're on this topic, would somebody mind explaining the //
notation for me?

Maybe I've oversimplified it in my own mind, but I understand the / character
to act as a path separator such that anything to the left of the / is the
parent of anything to the right.  But I haven't been able to visualise the //
notation at all.

Can anyone explain (and perhaps give examples of where it's useful)?

Cheers

Peter

Not so silly. Except it's XPath, not XSLT.
@ = attribute:: = attribute axis.
So @fred means attribute named fred

. = context node (or context item in XSLT 2.0) - that's the item that
is the current subject of apply-templates or for-each in XSLT .

$ = variable reference, so $fred is the value of the variable (or
parameter) named fred.
