It's useful when parsing an HTML document for a specific string through distributed multiple elements or attributes: For example, let's see the below interactive XPath expression evaluation: <html> <div> <h2>Coffee</h2> <span data-currency="USD">4.69</span> </div> </html> Above, we contact the name and price elements into a single string. However, we can join any number of elements. Here's an example through two or more arguments: <html> <div> <h2>Coffee</h2> <span data-currency="USD">4.69</span> </div></html> Note that `concat()` only works with strings so it'll automatically try convert elements to their `text()` values.
