This is not true. The XPath operators on the left and on the right are different and have different semantics.

Hi Folks,

In XML there is a short string that represents reserved symbols, e.g.,

& amp
< lt

Consider this empty XML element:

<Test/>

The "/>" symbol indicates the element is empty.

Is there a short string that is commonly used to represent the symbol that indicates the element is empty?

/> ???
