Re: Selecting first descendant text node

Hi Wendell,

>(item//text())[1] should do that.

Probably the expression is correct for XPath, but my XSLT processor (as
mentioned, Xalan 2.1.0) reports an parse/expression error if I put this
into the match attribute. Is this a bug of that processor?

(Btw, Oleg provided a working solution for now, so I'll use that for the
moment.)

Regards, Christian.
