Re: [xml-dev] [ANN] CLI XQuery engine Xidel 0.8.4 (Balisage edition)rele

Hi L2l,

It has nothing to do with a browser.
(the browser is with the spoon)

You have a webpage, say example.org, and want to know the title of all 
webpages linked from there.
Then you could open a browser and click on the links, but it is faster 
to just write:

xidel http://example.org -f //a -e //title

Best,
Benito

I mean I don't want to mistake what you are saying, so I'm asking. I am asking that what you are saying is that I can program xQuery in the browser? Right?
