[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Namespace name of source document
 I am translating XHTML documents into other XHTML documents. The default
namespace is "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1" in both the source document and
the stylesheet.
First, I have the following XHTML source document..
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1">
<head>
<title>Hello</title>
</head>
</html>
..and use the following XTLS stylesheet...
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1"
indent-result="yes" >
<xsl:template match="html" >
<html>
<head>
<title>
<xsl:value-of select="head/title" />
</title>
</head>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
..the resulting document will surprisingly be..
Hello
Why? Where are my html elements? Why does not "html" match "html" ?
If I instead use the following stylesheet..
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1"
xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1"
indent-result="yes" >
<xsl:template match="h:html" >
<html>
<head>
<title>
<xsl:value-of select="h:head/h:title" />
</title>
</head>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
..the resulting document will be the expected...
<html xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1">
<head>
<title>Hello</title>
</head>
</html>
Now it works. But I don't need the "h" namespace.
What is going on? Why must I use the "h" namespace to get this right?
I am using XT and have not tried any other translators.
