How find the following-sibling::, preceding-sibling:: & parent:: element and attributes using evaluateXPathExpression option in indesign

Well, you can still use evaluateXPathExpression to retrieve xmlElements and once grabbed look for following/preceeding-siblings by using indeces or collection nextItem(), previousItem() special functions.

For parent, you can use…parent property of any xmlElement…

FWIW,

Hi All,

Then how we can use xpath in indesign to find the xml node

Hi

Be aware xpath implementation in ExtendScript is all but exhaustive. Most of those axes won't work.

Due to the one-pass nature of this implementation, the following XPath expressions are specifically excluded:  No ancestor or preceding-sibling axes, including .., ancestor::, preceding-sibling::.

See xpath limitations in Adobe Scripting guide for more details.
