The reason is self::LINK matches all the child nodes of LINK (not only text
Childs)
So you can use this.
<xsl:template match="/PARA/LINK">
<xsl:for-each select="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
or
<xsl:apply-templates select="text()" />
You should try not match non-text children of Link.
Goodluck...

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:
--------------------------------------------------------
Figure The Cell Membrane 3-3
--------------------------------------------------------
Any help w/ this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
