+<h1>Some XPath examples</h1>
+
+<p>These examples illustrate some potentially useful applications of
+the <b>Select XPath</b> feature (under the <b>Edit</b> menu) in
+Arboreal, when working with Archimedes Project texts.</p>
+
+<p class="example">Find all heads:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>//p[@type='head']//s[1]</code>
+</ul>
+
+<p class="example">Find all figures in the third chapter:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>//chap[3]//figure</code>
+</ul>
+
+<p class="example">Find the sixth and seventh sentences in each paragraph:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>//p/s[position()>=6 and position()&lt;=7]</code>
+</ul>
+
+<p class="example">Select all paragraphs containing three sentences:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>//p[count(.//s)=3]/descendant-or-self::*</code>
+</ul>
+
+<p class="example">Select all figures with no place attribute:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>//figure[not(@place)]</code>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p class="example">Select all elements with more than three attributes:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>//*[count(@*)>=3]</code>
+</ul>
