XPath 3.1 Functions and Operators
XPath 4.0 Functions and Operators
Saxon availability
Available in XPath 3.1, XSLT 3.0, XQuery 3.1, and later versions. Available in all Saxon editions. Available for all platforms.
Notes on the Saxon implementation
Saxon 9.3 introduces support for the q flag, and for XPath 3.0 regular
expression enhancements, provided XPath 3.0 is enabled.
Saxon supports extended syntax for the flags argument: see the matches() function for details.
The single-argument form of this function specified in XPath 3.1, which is equivalent to supplying the second argument as a single space character (x20), is available since Saxon 9.7.
