Like add_children, is there a solution for deletion of elements based on
element value (elements with no attributes )
- name: Delete several beers with value
xml:
path: /foo/bar.xml
xpath: /business/beers
value: Old Rasputin
state: absent
--------------------- Actually I am trying to delete an element in xml file
with namespaces
