[MarkLogic Dev General] i have dobt in xpath

[Danny Sokolsky]

If you just want the title nodes from the database, the following query
will do that:

/books/book/title

You cannot bind an XPath to a variable--you can bind the results of an
XPath, but not the XPath itself.  If you need to use your string
variable as an XPath, you can use xdmp:eval or xdmp:value to construct a
new query from the string.
