<xsl:value-of> gives you the string value of the selected node. The
string value of an element is defined as the concatenation of all its
descendant text nodes. You are interested in only the child text nodes,
which you can obtain as:
<xsl:for-each select="NODE/text()">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

Subject: [xsl] why doesn't 'self::NODE' work?
Hello,
I am trying desparately to obtain the following input from
the below xml
tree:
--------------------------------------------------------
desired output:
--------------------------------------------------------
Figure 3-3
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
xml tree:
--------------------------------------------------------
<PARA>
<LINK linkend="0546">
Figure
<FIG NUM="3" ID="0546">
<TTL>
The Cell Membrane
</TTL>
</FIG>
3-3
</LINK>
</PARA>
--------------------------------------------------------
This is the XPATH expression that I am using:
--------------------------------------------------------
<xsl:template match="PARA/LINK">
<xsl:value-of select="self::LINK" />
</xsl:template>
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
This is the (undesired) output that I am getting:

Any help w/ this would be greatly appreciated.
