XPointer 實例
讓我們通過研究一個實例來學習一些基礎的XPointer 語法。
XPointer 實例
在本例中，我們會為您展示如何使用XPointer 並結合XLink 來指向另外一個文檔的某個具體的部分。
我們將通過研究目標XML 文檔開始（即我們要鏈接的那個文檔）。
目標XML文檔
目標XML文檔名為"dogbreeds.xml"，它列出了一些不同的狗種類：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<dogbreeds>
<dog breed="Rottweiler" id="Rottweiler">
<picture url="../../dog.com/rottweiler.gif" />
<history>The Rottweiler's ancestors were probably Roman
drover dogs.....</history>
<temperament>Confident, bold, alert and imposing, the Rottweiler
is a popular choice for its ability to protect....</temperament>
</dog>
<dog breed="FCRetriever" id="FCRetriever">
<picture url="../../dog.com/fcretriever.gif" />
<history>One of the earliest uses of retrieving dogs was to
help fishermen retrieve fish from the water....</history>
<temperament>The flat-coated retriever is a sweet, exuberant,
lively dog that loves to play and retrieve....</temperament>
</dog>

</dog>
</dogbreeds>
在您的瀏覽器查看"dogbreeds.xml"文件 。
注意上面的XML文檔在每個我們需要鏈接的元素上使用了id屬性！
XML 鏈接文檔
不止能夠鏈接到整個文檔（當使用XLink 時），XPointer 允許您鏈接到文檔的特定部分。 如需鏈接到頁面的某個具體的部分，請在xlink:href 屬性中的URL 後添加一個井號(#) 以及一個XPointer 表達式。
表達式： #xpointer(id("Rottweiler"))可引用目標文檔中id值為"Rottweiler"的元素。
因此，xlink:href屬性會類似這樣： xlink:href="http://dog.com/dogbreeds.xml#xpointer(id('Rottweiler'))"
不過，當使用id 鏈接到某個元素時，XPointer 允許簡寫形式。 您可以直接使用id的值，就像這樣： xlink:href="http://dog.com/dogbreeds.xml#Rottweiler" 。
下面的XML 文檔可引用每條狗的品種信息，均通過XLink 和XPointer 來引用：
