Recently, David Carlisle posted a reply to a question I had about a
namespace.
I have made progress using his suggestion, but I appear to have one remaining problem. I have xml content that includes a span element with a class attribute. After my xsl stylesheet transforms this to html, the attribute has been removed. Here is an example that demonstrates the issue narrowly. example.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <HistoryPages> <page seq="1"> <content> <p>Edward Jarvis (1803-1884) was a physician. His manuscript <span class="book-title">Houses and People in Concord, 1810 to 1882</span> contains his recollections of buildings in Concord during his youth.</p> </content> </page> </HistoryPages> example.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:output doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
method="html" indent="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1" />
<xsl:template match="page">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
<title>
Example
</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="xh" select="content/p" />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="xh">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}"
namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="xh" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>Actual output !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"></meta> <title> Example </title> </head> <body> <p>Edward Jarvis (1803-1884) was a physician. His manuscript <span>Houses and People in Concord, 1810 to 1882</span> contains his recollections of buildings in Concord during his youth. </p> </body> </html> Everything validates as xhtml strict. However, I have lost the class="book-title" part of the opening span tag. How can I retain the attribute? Any help will be appreciated.
