Concat 2 xpath results

hihohahi · 02-23-2023, 11:40 AM

Hello,

My start of my chapter looks like this. This I cannot change.
<p class="Chapter">Chapter 1 </p>
<p class="ChapterName">ABCDEF</p>

And when I make the TOC, I can only match one of them and have to fill the other by hand.
This has bugged me for a long time. Is there a way to concatenate the results from 2 xpath?

I want something like this
concat(//*[contains(@class, 'Chapter')], //*[contains(@class, 'ChapterName')])
would return No items found: No items were found that could be added to the Table of Contents.

Thanks so much for reading.

For the most part when I see chapter headers using p tags, I would create a hidden header item using regex and then create the ToC from the header tags.

source: <p class="chapter">(.*?)</p> <p class="ChapterName">(.*?)</p>

dest: <h3 class="hidden" title="\1: \2">\1: \2</h3> <p class="chapter">\1</p> <p class="ChapterName">\2</p>

<h3 class="hidden" title="Chapter 1: ABCDEF">Chapter 1: ABCDEF</h3>
<p class="Chapter">Chapter 1 </p>
<p class="ChapterName">ABCDEF</p>

Thank you! this works!
