of ancestor namespace-modifier? (element-name | element-name-list)
of ancestor
is an element qualifier that selects an element's ancestor using element-name,
or by using the first name in element-name-list that matches an element's ancestor. If there is more
than one opened element with the same name in the element stack of the currently-active parse, it will always
refer to the innermost one.
For example, in the following XML fragment, when parsing the innermost title
element,
<manual> <chapter> <title>First Chapter</title> <p>Introduction paragraph</p> <section id="S01.01"> <title>First Section</title> <section id="S01.01.01"> <title>Nested Section</title> ... </section> ... </section> </chapter> </manual>
of ancestor
can refer to elements section
,
chapter
, or manual
. Additionally, when parsing the innermost title
, the expression attribute
"id" of ancestor "section"
would evaluate to S01.01.01
.
