Does Nokogiri only support XPath 1.0? I’m trying to do simple string replacement in

  • 0

Does Nokogiri only support XPath 1.0? I’m trying to do simple string replacement in a value-of cell, like so (where element contains something like ‘* My string (useless text)’)

<xsl:value-of select="replace(element,'^\*\ (.+)\ \(.*\)$','\\1')">

Is this poorly formed XSL? Or is there a limitation with Nokogiri?

    The replace() function is only defined in XPath 2.0 (and XPath 2.x is only supported by XSLT 2.x, not XSLT 1.0)

    Nokogiri uses libxml2, which only supports XPath 1.0/XSLT1.0
