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...

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,
Steve
