XPath reference

XPath reference

I don't know the proper terminology for what I'm looking for, but what I
am looking for is a complete reference the statements that can go between
the double quotes, things like *, node(), @*, and all the ones listed here
plus any others that exist.
<xsl:template match="*">
The answer I linked to provides some detail, but not enough. For instance,
that answer says "can be applied to any element" about the example I gave
above, but what is considered an "element" in Xpath? What does node()
include? What statements include attributes? etc.
I have searched the references here and here and I'm slowly making my way
through this book, but I'm not seeing the info I want, which is basically
a consolidated (and hopefully exhaustive) list of statements and what they
mean. Does such a list exist and if so where is it? Free is nice but not
necessary.
