Re: [basex-talk] Full-text search and mixed content

Ah, thanks a lot!  I would have never guessed this...  Maybe the documentation should say something like: "Querying across elements is only supported when whitespace chopping is off."  If it's ok with you, I'll add it.

Thanks; your edits are welcome.

Another question: The examples in the documentation and the actual behavior of BaseX suggest that ft:extract and ft:mark only work for queries on a single text node, [...]

Yes, that's true. In terms of the syntax, a dot (.) may work as well, if the addressed elements have no more descendant elements, as the following example shows:

x.xml: <x>A</x>

query: ft:mark(doc('x.xml')//x[. contains text 'a'])

Hope this helps, Christian
