Bug ID: 118619
Summary: WEBSERVICE(URI) / FILTERXML Xpath not well explained
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.0.1 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: mbbtheb...@yahoo.com

Description:
"FILTERXML Apply a XPath expression to a XML document."
While it does give a definition and example, XPath is a quite complex function
that is not obvious for those new to it. (I worked through a lot of different
errors before I got it working)
At the very least it should contain a link to more info about Xpath syntax,
like https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_xpath.asp
Or even include a discription of the different elements like / // @ etc.
For a more advanced help page, maybe some of the Ask LibreOffice tips and
tricks could be combined?

info of how to use the function if you use it for the first time, or where to
get such info.
