Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing XPath search and editing behavior, and compare this request with issue #53. Use the XPath example against Hamlet.xml to determine how a selected text node should be updated with a prefix, then define how the behavior should be verified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

(Seem to be similar to #53 )

I want to

  • search for a text with Xpath and
  • modify the found text with a new string as prefix, e.g. "hello "

Searching would be done with Xpath, e.g. with "/PLAY/ACT/SCENE[1]/SPEECH[1]/SPEAKER/text()" for Hamlet.xml.
But how to add the prefix to the found text?
