Returns every node within the input sequence that is not an ancestor of another member of the input sequence; the nodes are returned in document order with duplicates eliminated.
fn:innermost
( $nodes
as node()*
node()*
The effect of the function call fn:innermost($nodes)
is defined to be
equivalent to the result of the expression:
$nodes except $nodes/ancestor::node()
That is, the function takes as input a sequence of nodes, and returns every node within the sequence that is not an ancestor of another node within the sequence; the nodes are returned in document order with duplicates eliminated.
If the source document contains nested sections represented by div
elements, the expression innermost(//div)
returns those div
