How did Chris use XPath Builder? #29

So during yesterday's lecture, Chris briefly showed XPath builder in OxygenXML, and I remember there were these... arrows or brackets or something (?) underneath the first XPath that allowed him to further refine the search separately as different steps.

I've tried googling XPath builder in OxygenXML but any explanations for its usage just seem like it's a separate but larger XPath window.

Can you explain how you used XPath builder in the Zoom presentation yesterday?

Ah yes! You select the //* in the XPath search bar

You will then get the XPath and XQuery builder window

You'll then select the red triangle to run the query.

E.g. Use the previous expression to build a list separated by commas

//body/div[1]//speaker
=> distinct-values()
=> sort()
=> string-join(', ')

Aaaaah thank you. I looked it up, and I see it's called an "arrow operator." This helps big time.
