Hi again,

Until we add the option for stripping whitespace-only nodes in the
evaluation of expressions on the XPath toolbar you can use the
following XPath 2.0 expression which does the stripping:
//text()[string-length(translate(., ' 	
', '')) > 0]
Or (more succinctly, to similar effect):
//text()[normalize-space()]
The problem being that either of these expressions will fail to
retrieve all the text here
<p>Here's a <b>big</b> <i>bad</i> paragraph.</p>
since the text node between the 'b' and 'i' elements has only whitespace.
Cheers,
Wendell
