Thank you,
if it is not possible to select all valid inputs that have the same string
value of their parent, is it possible to select the solution tag with a few
attribute?
<solution valid_input_00="Inhalt" valid_input_01="Inhalt1"
valid_input_02="Inhalt2" ...>Inhalt</solution>
My problem is to count how many valid_inputs have the same string value as
the solution tag.
