        I'm trying to select some of the nodes in an XML document, but I keep

<xsl:template match="make">
  <b><xsl:apply-templates/></b>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="model">
  <i><xsl:apply-templates/></i>
</xsl:template>

Replace each <xsl:apply-templates/> elements with <xsl:value-of select="."/>.


<xsl:apply-templates/> says, "...now process the matched node and all its children." That's why you're getting all the other stuff in your result. <xsl:value-of select="."/> says, "...add the value of the matched node to the result tree."
