The short answer is no.
XPath expressions allow you to "address" parts of an XML
document to locate elements, attributes, and other XML document nodes. This addressing mechanism is called
the "location path".
XPath does not operate in terms of line numbers or the
physical layout of a document. Instead a document is
viewed as being a tree and XPath operates over its
nodes. (See XML Infoset)
There are 7 node types i.e. root, element, text, attribute,
namespace, processing instruction, and comment.
