Try it this way?

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="root/text">
        <xsl:for-each select=".//text()[not (parent::x)]">
            <xsl:value-of select="." />
        </xsl:for-each>
        <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Thanks Michael! it is not working if element having with dot for example my element is footnote.reference. you are using parent key word and mye element can occure any where inside it may be child or sub child. – Rupesh Dasari Feb 28 '14 at 08:57
then use `ancestor::x` instead of `parent::x` – Joel M. Lamsen Feb 28 '14 at 10:01
@RupeshDasari I am not sure I understand your example. If Joel's suggestion doesn't work for you, please edit your question and post an example of the troublesome input. – michael.hor257k Feb 28 '14 at 10:51

try this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="root">

      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>

  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="text/x"/>

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">

      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>

  </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template> 

</xsl:stylesheet>

You have four templates; two of them don't do anything. – michael.hor257k Feb 28 '14 at 08:03
first to match root, second to ignore x, third to match node and 4th just to get text. lease let me know if i'm making any flaw in writing code like this, as i'm not that proficient in XSLT. Thanks – user2423959 Feb 28 '14 at 08:30

Root is a node, so it is already matched by the third template. And the third template does not output anything. Your second and fourth templates are doing all the work here. – michael.hor257k Feb 28 '14 at 11:02
