• Thread-topic: Xpath Question

One of our devs just made me question all that's right in the world with
the question below. Given the following XML 

<pre>
  <b>bold</b>
  <i>italic</i>
</pre>

what is the result of the following XPath expression
"count(/pre/child::node())" ?

Is the answer 2 or 5?
