Bastiat, extract from an XPATH but keep missing nodes as NA's.

Performs some cleaning operation on a string. It's a wrapper that helps standardise code somewhat.

b_xpath(
  html.doc = "html",
  path.base = NULL,
  path.extension = NULL,
  get.attribute = F,
  the.attribute = "href"
)

`path.base`	Enter a portion of the path that you are sure that exists.
`path.extension`	Enter the remainder where there may be gaps wrt to final node you are interested in.
`get.attribute`	Do you want to extract the value from an attribute? Default is 'FALSE'.
`the.attribute`	Name the attribute you want to extract the value from. Default is 'href'.
