Author XPath expression to find all element nodes in a subtree?

I am having trouble composing the XPath expression which will find all element nodes beneath a given node. These element nodes are probably not children, but they might be grandchildren or buried even deeper in the DOM tree. I know that I can use the //
notation to get all elements within the document, but it would be more useful to prune this list to only those element nodes beneath a prescribed node. Can you provide any help? Thanks.
