relative paths with XPath in libxml2

[sparcz]

Hi everyone!
I'm using libxml2 in linux and want to learn how to do it with xpath instead of manually traversing the tree. However, to make it useful I need to use relative path instead of having to start from the root all the time as with

result = xmlXPathEvalExpression(path, context);

This must be possible! Any input is wellcome!

Try googling for "libxml2 xpath relative path" or something similar. Or maybe guess the name. xmlXPathRelativeEvalExpression . . . .

I tried that off course! And XPath contains NO functions with 'Relative' in it. So... that won't cut it

I think you may have to maintain the relative path yourself and always pass the root to the function.
