Answer 1

Try doc.xpath("//pod[@id='anid' or @id='anotherid']")

Helbonna

perfect, that worked! That isn't XPath 2.0 syntax though, right? – Mallorymallow

@MarkF No it isn't, it's XPath 1.0. In XPath or works as an operand (like something or something), not as a function (like or(something, something)). – Helbonna

Answer 2

Try this XPath:

doc.xpath("//pod[@id='anid' or @id='anotherid']")

Answer 3

This also worked for me:

sect_pr.xpath("//pod[@id='anid']", "//pod[@id='anotherid']")

It returns NodeSet

I got code like this:

sect_pr.xpath('//w:headerReference or //w:footerReference')

And it return true insted NodeSet
