Re: XML::Twig 'cut' and 'paste' Question

In XPATH syntax / specifies an absolute path where as // specefies a relative path. /article/fig/label would work.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath for the full XPATH spec.

You are not fully right. Directly from the document you cite: `//para` selects all the `para` descendants of the document root and thus selects all `para` elements in the same document as the context node So `//fig/label` selects all 'label' childern of all 'fig' elements in the document. `s;;Just-me-not-h-Ni-m-P-Ni-lm-I-ar-O-Ni;;tr?IerONim-?HAcker ?d;print`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
