-A very brief introduction to some commonly used technologies used in translator development.+
  
-=== XPath === +==== CSS Selectors ==== 
-<code> +A comprehensive and accessible resource is available from W3Schools:\\ 
- <div id="names"> +https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp
-  <span class="editor">George Spelvin</span>, +
-  <span class="translator">Andrea Johnson</span> +
- </div> +
- <table> +
-  <tr class="odd"> +
-   <td>Great Expectations</td> +
-   <td>Mediocre Plans</td> +
-  </tr> +
- </table> +
-</code>+
  
-  * ''/'' Separator between parts of the path +The Mozilla Development Network (MDN) also provides a CSS Selector resource:\\ 
-  * ''*'' match any tag +https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors
-  * ''/ /'' one or more levels deeper (no space) +
-  * ''..'' go up one level +
-  * ''[]'' match a tag that has this (the contents of the brackets) +
-  * ''@key'' an attribute named ''key'' +
-  * ''text()'' match a text node +

-== Examples == +A tutorial is available from Liquid Technologies:\\ 
-  * ''/ /tr[@class="odd"]/td'' +https://www.liquid-technologies.com/xpath-tutorial
-  * ''/ /table/ /td'' +
-  * ''/ /span[@class="editor"]''+
  
-=== Regular Expressions ===+==== Regex ====
  
-  * ''.'' matches any character +There are many high-quality regex tutorials available online. A comprehensive guide is provided all in one page at:\\ 
-  * ''[a-z01]'' matches any of the lowercase English letters and the numbers 0 and 1 ( +https://github.com/zeeshanu/learn-regex/blob/master/README.md
-  * ''()'' surround a match expression +
-  * ''+'' Match one or more of the preceding expression +
