XPointer Node Tests

These are the node tests you can use with XPointers, along with what they match:

*	Any element
node()	Any node
text()	A text node
comment()	A comment node
processing-instruction()	A processing instruction node
point()	A point in a resource
range()	A range in a resource

Note in particular the last two: point() and range() . These correspond to the two new constructs added in XPointers, points and ranges. I'll talk more about them at the end of this chapter. As you can see here, in XPointer, XPath node tests are extended to be able to include points and ranges as well.
