    The pipe ( | ) in XPath combines expressions. So this will return the href attribute for link elements (that match the predicate) and text content of any links

    So given a fragment like

      <link>test</link>
  <link href="http://www.google.com">Google</link>
  <link rel="zzzz" href="http://www.stackoverflow.com">Stack Overflow</link>

    you’d get:

    test
http://www.google.com
Google
Stack Overflow
