Given the xml:

<element>text</element>
...
<element>text</element>

And xsl:

<xsl:for-each select="element">
...
</xsl:for-each>

What do I need to put inside the for-each loop to access the text? There doesn't seem to be a corresponding xsl:value-of because select="", select="/", and select="element" are all wrong.
