Xpath child of multiple types

Question

I have this xpath:

.//*[@id='some_id']/td//div

and now I want to select any child of the div that is of certain type, for example every child that is either a label or span. Something like this

.//*[@id='some_id']/td//div/(label|span)/.......

but that is not valid xpath. How can I do that (wthout writing two full xpaths for the given 2 example for child types)

Answer 1

descendant:: finds on all level below, to find only children use

.//*[@id='some_id']/td//div/*[self::label or self::span]
