XPath 3.1 Functions and Operators
Saxon availability
Available in all Saxon editions.
Notes on the Saxon implementation
Saxon 9.3 introduces support for the q flag, and for XPath 3.0 regular
expression enhancements, provided XPath 3.0 is enabled.
Saxon supports extended syntax for the flags argument: see the matches() function for details.
The single-argument form of this function specified in XPath 3.1, which is equivalent to supplying the second argument as a single space character (x20), is available since Saxon 9.7.
