Using the following document as a study http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/doctable/doaproll.rdf
My question is how to perform an XPath that will return all CVSRepository nodes. I try //CVSRepository and get "XPath returned no results".
Any hints should be documented and added to Oxygen Help.
The problem is an XPath one and not an oXygen one. In your XML document, each "<Project>" element is assigned to a namespace without a prefix, making it impossible to find its subelements using XPath. Try adding this attribute to your root RDF element: xmlns:prj="http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/faux-doap" then you can use the XPath expression //prj:CVSRepository and find the elements.
