Abel,



That would be:



test="$param1/node()[1][self::text()]"



Cheers,

Question: is the first item inside $someparam a text-node or any 
other node? Whitespace is considered a textnode also.
Putting it a bit clearer: xpath must return true for the following nodes:



<em>some text</em>
<em> <strong>bla</strong></em>
<em>some text<strong>bold text</strong>more text</em>
<em> </em>

and must return false in these scenarios:
<em />
<em><strong>bold text</strong>more text</em>
<em><em>text</em>text<strong>bold text</strong></em>

Consider the node 'em' in the above examples as being in a param for 
xsl:function:



<xsl:function name="local:myfunc">
   <xsl:param name="param1" />
   <xsl:if test="WHAT_GOES_HERE">
       do something when node starts with text
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:function>

Cheers!
