I have this HTML:
<span id="bla">text</span>more text
I want to get text
and more text
.
I have this XPath:
//span[@id="bla"]/text()
I can't figure out how to get the closing tag and what comes after it.

<span id="bla">text</span>more text
alone is not well-formed and cannot be processed via XPath.
Let's put it in context:
<div><span id="bla">text</span>more text</div>
Then, you can simply take the string value of the parent element, div
:
string(/div)
to get
textmore text
as requested.
If there's other surrounding content that you don't want:
<div>DO NOT WANT<span id="bla">text</span>more text<b/>DO NOT WANT</div>
You can follow @alecxe's lead with the following-sibling::
axis and use concat()
to combine the parts you want:
concat(//span[@id="bla"], //span[@id="bla"]/following-sibling::text()[1])
to again get
textmore text
as requested.
