XSLT - how to match any non-text node children?

Question

I am new to XSLT and I cannot figure out how to get the xsl: if it matches when there are no child tags.

I want this to match:

<context>
    howdy
</context>

And this is not:

<context>
    <child>
        howdy
    </child>
</context>

You can also specify count(child::*) = 0 .

the corresponding xpath expression should look like this:

//context[not(./*)]
