xpath接受所有文本，而不仅仅是第一行

Question

I have this html

    <td colspan="2" align="justify" class="inPage">
                <p>
                    2 bedroom + maids +balcony in Tiara Residence - Diamond type
                    <br>1700 sq.ft, furnished with kitchen equipment
                    <br>Sea view/ Atlantis view
                    <br>Selling Price: 4 million
                </p>
    </td>

My xpath is:

normalize-space(.//div[@class='section']/table/tr[7]/td/p/text())

The result is just 2 bedroom + maids +balcony in Tiara Residence - Diamond type

I need the other text inside the p tag.

I am using scrapy 0.20 with python 0.27

You can simply use

normalize-space(.//div[@class='section']/table/tr[7]/td/p)

but this concatenate al text nodes, without any newline characters.

normalize-space() , as with other XPath string functions that expect a string argument, will convert the input node p to it's string-value . Quoting XPath 1.0 specifications :

For every type of node, there is a way of determining a string-value for a node of that type. For some types of node, the string-value is part of the node; for other types of node, the string-value is computed from the string-value of descendant nodes
