<Introduction>

Hopefully this quick and dirty XPath Guide/Tutorial helps.
I wrote this to help people and for myself, since i forget things easily.

This is basically more a glossary / tips / tricks
I am converting this from an Google Doc I had for years.

Also pulling from way better sources/resource sites
that's why i have a section for Resource Links.
I mainly doing this cause i am bored and i like colors/visuals.

Everything is done on the OS Windows. I don't know anything about Macs.
