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"> <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"/> <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.
