Disabling XSLT default output

[Nosferatu]

Hello...

I am desperately trying this for a few days now (in 2-3 hour reprises )
within my stylesheet there are several templates that take care of specific data. Since the structure of the XML is extremely complicated - recursive, 14 choices or so... I just want my templates to do their job on each choice and then, recursively apply the templates by a call to

xsl:apply-templates

.

The question is How do I get rid of the default output from the XSLT processor?????

If I use <xsl:value-of select... something> in my template, I just get a duplicate of the content when calling apply-templates.

Can anybody help on this? [red]Nosferatu[/red]

OK... that was easier than I thought and it was too obvious to see it ...

<xsl:template match=&quot;text()&quot;/>
