How to escape line breaks inside a tag?

Question

Software testing

Colleagues, hello!
There is an HTML code:

<td><div>

Ожидание работы

</div>
</td>

Inside the div there are newlines, both at the beginning and at the end, respectively, such an XPath expression cannot pull out the text:
"//td[.//div[contains(text(), 'Waiting for work')]]"
How can such a problem be solved?

Answer 1

The described problem does not exist. The contains function doesn't care about newlines. Also, this expression is fully evaluated.
