Found the article Locating the node by value containing whitespaces using XPath on Stack Overflow – reprinted here so I don’t forget it:
If you know the exact value of the node – say it’s “Hello World” with a space used jumpers for sale:
<top> <aChild>Hello World</aChild> </top>
Then the XPath expression:
/top/aChild[.='Hello World']
will select this node.
