That's correct. The expression expands to (long syntax):
/descendant-or-self::node()/child::text()[1]
that is, it selects all the text nodes that are the first child of their respective parents.
You want either:
(//text())[1]
(collects all the text nodes, returns only the first)
or
/descendant::text()[1]
(returns the first descendant text node).

Hi Anton,

There's another problem. I thought "//text()[1]" would give "the first text node (inside that first paragraph) however deeply nested in any markup". But instead, it seems to return the first text node of *all* the nested markup.As you have it, you are doing string operations on the entire paragraph text which means that any element markup within the paragraph will be lost.
