 You want either: OK... but now the problem is, none of both seem to be valid in a match pattern. <xsl:template match="para(//text())[1]"> saxon says: "The only functions allowed in a pattern are id() and key()" <xsl:template match="para/descendant::text()[1]"> saxon says: "Axis in pattern must be child or attribute" (The first one is strange: is text() really a function? And even then, why is "para//text()[1]" a valid pattern and "para(//text())[1]" isn't?) So I guess I'd have to use one of them in an apply-templates select attribute (instead of in match) but I'm stuck on how to combine that with the identity template. I could select "para(//text())[1]" but how would I select all the rest then (something like "para(//text())[position() > 1]" won't work). Input XML: <section> <para>A paragraph without any markup</para> <para> Beware of leading whitespace </para> <para>A paragraph with some <i>markup</i> inside</para> <para>A paragraph with some <b><i>nested</i> markup</b></para> <para><em>This is a special case:</em> paragraph starts with markup</para> <para><em>This</em> is difficult: only the first word has markup</para> </section> The goal is, to isolate the first 3 words of each paragraph. Desired output: <section> <para><first>A paragraph without </first>any markup</para> <para><first>Beware of leading </first>whitespace</para> <para><first>A paragraph with </first>some <i>markup</i> inside</para> <para><first>A paragraph with </first>some <b><i>nested</i> markup</b></para> <para><em><first>This is a </first>special case:</em> paragraph starts with markup</para> <para><em><first>This</first></em> is difficult: only the first word has markup</para> </section> The last one is especially difficult, ideally that would be <para><first><em>This</em> is difficult:</first> only the first word has markup</para> Stylesheet so far: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <xsl:param name="split" select="3"/> <!-- identity template: copy all elements -->
