Try selecting foo/text(). This will ignore your x-y-z children, but get ABC and DEF.




I need to do something with the ABC. So I
select the 'ABC' like this...

<xsl:template match="foo">
  <xsl:variable name="left">
    <xsl:value-of select="node()"/>
  </xsl:variable>

Then I do something with that $left which
holds 'ABC'. After that I do...

<xsl:apply-templates/>

...which takes care of the child nodes
just fine.

But I can't seem to get a hold of the 'DEF' from
<foo>. I don't need to make it into a variable
named $right, but I must at least display
it.

My question is, how can I select just the 'DEF'
from <foo>?

Or, baring that, how can I select 'ABCDEF'
sans the child nodes. Always when I use
'select="node()" inside of <foo> the 'DEF'
gets lost.

TIA,

Gan
