RE: Attempt to Select from the Top of Document No Work

Could your problem be that you are attempting to match a <p> node in the default namespace using a template that matches a <ws:p> (in the "ws" namespace)?

Subject:   Attempt to Select from the Top of Document No Worky

Hi,

I've searched high and low for the answer to this
problem...to no avail...so I'll be quick.  I've got a
pretty complicated xml document...lots of nodes.

I'm matching a paragraph, and I want to style it.  the
structure is something like:

<p style="blah">stuff in here</p>

Someplace else, far above, the "blah" style is
defined, in a node pretty well nested:

<presentationSettings>
 <textRendering>
  <textStyles>
   <textStyle name="Normal">
    <blockAttr indent-left="0" indent-right="0"
text-indent="0" text-align="left"
list-style-type="none" tabs="0.5 1.0 1.2"/>
    <inlineAttr font-family="Arial" font-size="10"
font-weight="normal" font-style="normal"
font-charset="Western" text-decoration="none"
vertical-align="baseline" color="#000"/>
   </textStyle>
   ...lots and lots more stuff before the preceeding
tags close...

I tried to use this template to get the style
information to apply to each paragraph, but it doesn't
work.

<xsl:template match="ws:p">
  <xsl:element name="fo:block">
    <xsl:variable name="styleName" select="@style"/>
    <xsl:for-each
select="//textStyle[@name=$styleName]/inlineAttr/@*">
	<xsl:attribute name="{local-name(.)}">
	<xsl:value-of select="."/>
	</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:for-each>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Maybe the reason is that // doesn't work inside of my
existing query (ws:p), but what can I do to get the
values I'm looking for?

Many thanks,
KP
