XPath axis, get all following nodes until

Question

I have the following example of HTML:

Foo bar
lorem
ipsum
etc         


        

Answer 1

how about matching on the second one? If you only want the top section, match the second and grab everything above it .
doc.xpath("//h2[text()='Bar baz']/preceding-sibling::p").map { |m| m.text } => ["lorem", "ipsum", "etc"]

or if you don't know the second one, go another level with: doc.xpath("//h2[text()='Foo bar']/following-sibling::h2/preceding-sibling::p").map { |it| it.text } => ["lorem", "ipsum", "etc"]
