Re: Testing for text before an element

	I'm using a <xsl:if
  test="not(child::*[1][self::para])"><LineBreak/></xsl:if> test.  How do I
  modify this expression to evaluate false if text preceeds a <para> child?
  Thanks!

change * to node() then you'll be testing the first node is self::para
rather than the first element, so it'll be false for text.
