RE: [xsl] why doesn't 'self::NODE' work?

["Wright, Steve" <Steve.Wright@xxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,
Thanks for the fantastic feedback. I'm now much closer to obtaining my
desired output. Now I'm able to isolate and output the text at the <LINK>
node w/o invoking it's children. It looks like I will have to get more
explicit w/ my templates to get the children to display correctly, but I'm
already having some positive results there.

Thanks again!

Steve

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
