Re: [xsl] When to use text()

Hi George, If test="text()" is true for any text node is the same as "If used as a node test, text() is true for any text node." than test="text()" may be easier to understand quickly for a newbie, but what you wrote is fine and thanks a lot for doing that! I wonder also if it's more complete to say test="text()" is true for any non empty text node or is there no text node in for example <cat></cat>? Cheers!!
