[xsl] Choosing specific XML node with XSL

["Hiral Parikh" <hparikh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am dealing with some dynamically generated XML and ran into some XSL
parsing issues.

The XML is something like this:

<parent>this is parent text
	<child1><child2>this is child text</child2></child1> </parent>

I want the text of <parent> only, but
<xsl:value-of select = "//parent/"/>  returns 'this is parent text this is
child text'.

How can I get only the text of <parent> tag and not the <child1><child2>
tag.

Thanks in advance,
Hiral
