    void	xmlXPathSubstringFunction	(xmlXPathParserContextPtr ctxt,
    					 int nargs)
Implement the substring() XPath function string substring(string, number, number?) The substring function returns the substring of the first argument starting at the position specified in the second argument with length specified in the third argument. For example, substring("12345",2,3) returns "234". If the third argument is not specified, it returns the substring starting at the position specified in the second argument and continuing to the end of the string. For example, substring("12345",2) returns "2345". More precisely, each character in the string (see [3.6 Strings]) is considered to have a numeric position: the position of the first character is 1, the position of the second character is 2 and so on. The returned substring contains those characters for which the position of the character is greater than or equal to the second argument and, if the third argument is specified, less than the sum of the second and third arguments; the comparisons and addition used for the above follow the standard IEEE 754 rules. Thus: - substring("12345", 1.5, 2.6) returns "234" - substring("12345", 0, 3) returns "12" - substring("12345", 0 div 0, 3) returns "" - substring("12345", 1, 0 div 0) returns "" - substring("12345", -42, 1 div 0) returns "12345" - substring("12345", -1 div 0, 1 div 0) returns ""

### Function: xmlXPathSumFunction
    void	xmlXPathSumFunction		(xmlXPathParserContextPtr ctxt,
    					 int nargs)
Implement the sum() XPath function number sum(node-set) The sum function returns the sum of the values of the nodes in the argument node-set.

`nargs`: | the number of arguments
### Function: xmlXPathTrailing
    xmlNodeSetPtr	xmlXPathTrailing	(xmlNodeSetPtr nodes1,
    					 xmlNodeSetPtr nodes2)
Implements the EXSLT - Sets trailing() function: node-set set:trailing (node-set, node-set) @nodes1 and @nodes2 are sorted by document order, then #xmlXPathTrailingSorted is called.
`nodes1`: | a node-set
`nodes2`: | a node-set
`Returns`: | the nodes in @nodes1 that follow the first node in @nodes2 in document order, @nodes1 if @nodes2 is NULL or empty or an empty node-set if @nodes1 doesn't contain @nodes2
### Function: xmlXPathTrailingSorted
    xmlNodeSetPtr	xmlXPathTrailingSorted	(xmlNodeSetPtr nodes1,
    					 xmlNodeSetPtr nodes2)
Implements the EXSLT - Sets trailing() function: node-set set:trailing (node-set, node-set)
`nodes1`: | a node-set, sorted by document order
`nodes2`: | a node-set, sorted by document order
`Returns`: | the nodes in @nodes1 that follow the first node in @nodes2 in document order, @nodes1 if @nodes2 is NULL or empty or an empty node-set if @nodes1 doesn't contain @nodes2
### Function: xmlXPathTranslateFunction
    void	xmlXPathTranslateFunction	(xmlXPathParserContextPtr ctxt,
    					 int nargs)
Implement the translate() XPath function string translate(string, string, string) The translate function returns the first argument string with occurrences of characters in the second argument string replaced by the character at the corresponding position in the third argument string. For example, translate("bar","abc","ABC") returns the string BAr. If there is a character in the second argument string with no character at a corresponding position in the third argument string (because the second argument string is longer than the third argument string), then occurrences of that character in the first argument string are removed. For example, translate("--aaa--","abc-","ABC")

    						 const xmlChar * name)
Search in the Variable array of the context for the given variable value.
`ctxt`: | the XPath context
`name`: | the variable name
`Returns`: | a copy of the value or NULL if not found

    xmlXPathObjectPtr	xmlXPathWrapNodeSet	(xmlNodeSetPtr val)
Wrap the Nodeset @val in a new xmlXPathObjectPtr
`val`: | the NodePtr value
`Returns`: | the newly created object.
### Function: xmlXPathWrapString
