I can't figure out how to do this. require 'libxml'
xml = LibXML::XML::Document.string <<-EOS <root><x><m id="a" class="q">dummy</m><n id="b" class="q">dummy</ n></x></root> EOS nodes = xml.find(".//*...@class='q']") nodes.to_a => [<m id="a" class="q">dummy</m>, <n id="b" class="q">dummy</n>] x = nodes[0] => <m id="a" class="q">dummy</m> So far so good. x.find(".//*...@id='a']").to_a => [] no match? I expect it to be: => [<m id="a" class="q">dummy</m>] Why isn't it matching against the current context? I can't seem to find any way to make it do that.
