Hello All, I found the answer to my problem at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8264134/xmllint-failing-to-properly-query-with-xpath but it is cumbersome. If I want to query /book/chapter/title I have to write:
$ xmllint --xpath "/*[local-name()='book']/*[local-name()='chapter']/*[local-name()='title']" book.xml if book.xml is like <book xmlns= ...></book> It would be good if there were a syntax for declaring the namespace on the command line.
