Ok, you really appreciate native tools? Me too ;-)

Good news. As I wrote before(libxml2 change xpath result separator): The change for newline-separators had been made within the source-code of libxml as of Sep 2018.

I just compiled libxml2 and verified that it works as expected:

Code:
$ xmllint-current --xpath "//SeriesName/text()" data.xml

So it's only a matter of time until it flows downstream into the major distributions. But if one has the need to be really compatible, one better may take other approaches.

...and l like hearing that my efforts contributed to your knowledge.

mkdoc::xml::tagger

MKDoc::XML::Tagger(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   MKDoc::XML::Tagger(3pm)

NAME

       MKDoc::XML::Tagger - Adds XML markup to XML / XHTML content.

SYNOPSIS

	 use MKDoc::XML::Tagger;
	 print MKDoc::XML::Tagger->process_data (
	     "<p>Hello, World!</p>",
	     { _expr => 'World', _tag => 'strong', class => 'superFort' }
	 );

       Should print:

	 <p>Hello, <strong class="superFort">World</strong>!</p>

SUMMARY

       MKDoc::XML::Tagger is a class which lets you specify a set of tag and attributes associated with expressions which you want to mark up.
       This module will then stuff any XML you send out with the extra expressions.

       For example, let's say that you have a document which has the term 'Microsoft Windows' several times in it. You could wish to surround any
       instance of the term with a <trademark> tag.  MKDoc::XML::Tagger lets you do exactly that.

       In MKDoc, this is used so that editors can enter hyperlinks separately from the content.  It allows them to enter content without having to
       worry about the annoying <a href="..."> syntax. It also has the added benefit from preventing bad information architecture such as the
       'click here' syndrome.

       We also have plans to use it for automatically linking glossary words, abbreviation tags, etc.

       MKDoc::XML::Tagger is also probably a very good tool if you are building some kind of Wiki system in which you want expressions to be
       automagically hyperlinked.

DISCLAIMER

       This module does low level XML manipulation. It will somehow parse even broken XML and try to do something with it. Do not use it unless
       you know what you're doing.

API

       The API is very simple.

   my $result = MKDoc::XML::Tagger->process_data ($xml, @expressions);
       Tags $xml with the @expressions list.

       Each element of @expressions is a hash reference looking like this:

	 {
	     _expr	=> 'Some Expression',
	     _tag	=> 'foo',
	     attribute1 => 'bar'
	     attribute2 => 'baz'
	 }

       Which will try to turn anything which looks like:

	 Some Expression
	 sOmE ExPrEssIoN
	 (etcetera)

       Into:

	 <foo attr1="bar" attr2="baz">Some Expression</foo>
	 <foo attr1="bar" attr2="baz">sOmE ExPrEssIoN</foo>
	 <foo attr1="bar" attr2="baz">(etcetera)</foo>

       You can have multiple expressions, in which case longest expressions are processed first.

   my $result = MKDoc::XML::Tagger->process_file ('some/file.xml', @expressions);
       Same as process_data(), except it takes its data from 'some/file.xml'.

NOTES

       MKDoc::XML::Tagger does not really parse the XML file you're giving to it nor does it care if the XML is well-formed or not. It uses
       MKDoc::XML::Tokenizer to turn the XML / XHTML file into a series of MKDoc::XML::Token objects and strictly operates on a list of tokens.

       For this same reason MKDoc::XML::Tagger does not support namespaces.
