Subject: human-talk for "::" From: John Robert Gardner <jrgardn@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 13:07:35 -0400 (EDT) |
Reading more and more on XPath, I'm wondering if there is any agreement on a human-readable rendering for "::" -- looking at David's recent post on the outputing full path, in the following: ancestor-or-self::* could be acceptably "read" as "ancestor-or-self _which is_ *" or, in longer discursive form, "any ancestory or self which is an element node" ?? I know this is a very personal-tastes oriented question, but I'm wondering how to explain to a non-programmer the "verbal sense" conveyed/represented by the "::" thanks for any suggestions, jr XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
