Point Expressions

A point is selected using an XPath expression that points at a node; then suffixing it with /point()[position()=n] where n is the index of the point following that node that you want. The index refers to the point before n^th child element if the context node is an element or root node, or to the n^th character of the string value of the node otherwise. For example, to select the point immediately before the D in Domeniquette Celeste Baudean's NAME element,

/child::FAMILYTREE/descendant::*[position()=1]/child::NAME/child::text()/point()[position()=0]

To select the point after the last e in Domeniquette, since there are 12 letters in Domeniquette,

/child::FAMILYTREE/descendant::*[position()=1]/child::NAME/child::text()/point()[position()=12]
