Re: [xsl] Find node with no child text() nodes

[Brandon Ibach <brandon.ibach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<xsl:template match="block_x[not(descendant::text())]">...</xsl:template>

However, depending on your space-stripping settings, the indenting
whitespace (present in the model as text() nodes) might foil this.
So, you could also try:

<xsl:template match="block_x[normalize-space(.) = '']">...</xsl:template>
