There are two XSL files. One includes another using an <xsl:include>. The main template desides which actual templates to call depending on node values, and included templates contain actual transformation rules. Nothing special here. But included file has a script block: <msxsl:script language="VB" implements-prefix="user"> <msx...

I have not found any documentation nor tutorial for that. Does anything like that exist? doc.xpath('//table/tbody[@id="threadbits_forum_251"]/tr') the code above will get me any table, anywhere, that has a tbody child with the attribute id equal to threadbits_forum_251.

I have concerns that this change would introduce differences in the query syntax. Can somebody list the difference of syntax between these two syntax? ...

But when I try to go a little further down and search using the XPath below, it returns a null element. The '/th[0]' is to say: return the first <th> element, under...
