Gruss Gott, die Herren! Good day, fans and developers of basex!
After lots of searching online, I turn to you.
I have text loaded into my basex database in the following format
<text id=“Rev”> ... <verse id="Rev.22.14"/> Beati, qui lavant stolas suas in sanguine Agni : ut sit potestas eorum in ligno vitæ, et per portas intrent in civitatem. <verse id="Rev.22.15"/> Foris canes, et venefici, et impudici, et homicidæ, et idolis servientes, et omnis qui amat et facit mendacium. <verse id="Rev.22.16”/> ... </text>
If I wished to query the all nodes between <verse id="Rev.22.14”/> and the following <verse/> tag, I imagined it would be as simple as this:
xquery /text[starts-with(@id, 'Rev')]//verse[@id='Rev.22.1']/following-sibling::node()[following-sibling::verse]
But alas, the query does not stop searching at the following sibling, but continues to the end.
What is the correct syntax of the xpath to get what I need without specifying the particular end tag? I know the following works, but I require the more general query without the id of the ending tag.
xquery /text[starts-with(@id, 'Bible.N')]//verse[@id='Rev.22.1']/following-sibling::node()[following-sibling::verse[@id='Rev.22.2’]].
Thanks for your help!
