- Unescape XPath expression
When checked, unescapes the entities found in the XPath expression. For example the expression
//varlistentry[starts-with(@os,'s')]
is equivalent with
//varlistentry[starts-with(@os,'s')]
.
- No namespace
If checked <oXygen/> will consider unprefixed element names in XPath expressions evaluated in the XPath console as belonging to no namespace.
- Use the namespace of the root
If checked <oXygen/> will consider unprefixed element names in XPath expressions evaluated in the XPath console as belonging to the same namespace as the root element of the document.
- Only if it is declared as default
If checked the namespace of the root element will be applied to the unprefixed elements in the XPath console only if it is set as default namespace on the root element.
- Other
The user has the possibility to enter here the namespace of the unprefixed elements used in the XPath console
- Default prefix-namespace mappings
Associates prefixes to namespaces. These mappings are useful when applying an XPath in XPath console and you don't have to define these mappings for each document separately.
The New button creates an editable prefix-namespace mapping.
The Remove button deletes the selected mapping.
