RE: selecting a node without its children

[Scott Zarecor <szarecor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your help, but that doesn't do the trick. Here's what my XML
looks like:
<task>
<author>Scott Zarecor</author>
<date>03/27/00</date>
The text of the task would go here...
</task>
Using '<xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/>' and other variations upon the
'text()'-theme (with Xalan) returns the contents of the child nodes as well
as the text I'm actually after. Any ideas?

  <xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/>

should do what you want.
