public class ImmediatelyFollowingFunction

extends java.lang.Object

implements org.jaxen.Function

Functional definition of the Immediately Following Axis in LPath. This function has the signature:

  node-set i-foll(node-set, string )
 

The second argument is a string which should be a valid XPath expression. This expression will be run against each node in the immediately following axis (see LPath Bird et al) of nodes in the nodset. The immediately following axis starts from the first node of the following axis (say x), and includes all nodes on the path from x to its first leaf.

  i-foll(>>::VB,'=::NP')
 

Select NP nodes which immediately follow a VB node. See the PTBXPath class for how to write recursive expressions.
