Re: Counting number of child nodes based on element value (typos)

In Re^2: XML parsing and Lists you wrote a query using more than one tagname which appears nowhere in the xml you posted

H5 is not H4, there is no "Part"

$ xmllint.exe --xpath " //Article//Sect//H4[ contains(.,'Include')] /.
+.//LI" madbee.xml
<LI>
                    <LI_Label>1.</LI_Label>
                    <LI_Title>Critera 1</LI_Title>
                </LI><LI>
                    <LI_Label>2.</LI_Label>
                    <LI_Title>Critera 2</LI_Title>
                </LI><LI>
                    <LI_Label>3.</LI_Label>
                    <LI_Title>Critera 3</LI_Title>
                </LI><LI>
                    <LI_Label>4.</LI_Label>
                    <LI_Title>Critera 3</LI_Title>
                </LI>
$ xmllint.exe --xpath " count( //Article//Sect//H4[ contains(.,'Includ
+e')] /..//LI )" ma
dbee.xml
4
$ xmllint.exe --xpath " count( //H4[ contains(.,'Include')] /..//LI )"
+ madbee.xml
4
$

My advice is switch to font DejaVu Sans Mono, say size 11 or 12 or 20 , helps with the detailed oriented nature of programming

what you posted still isn't valid xml -- XML::LibXML rejects it
