+The Dynamic XML Badge allows you to extract an arbitrary value from any
+XML Document using an XPath selector and show it on a badge.

+Useful resources for constructing XPath selectors:
+- [XPather](http://xpather.com/)
+- [XPath Cheat Sheet](https://devhints.io/xpath/)
+
+Note: For XML documents that use a default namespace prefix, you will need to use the
+[local-name](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XPath/Functions/local-name)
+function to construct your query.
+For example \`/*[local-name()='myelement']\` rather than \`/myelement\`.
