Subject: [xsl] how to use namespaces with xsltproc
I'm trying to extract from an OpenOffice content.xml file
the elements delimited by the <list:item> tag with the
xsltproc program, but it gives the next error message:
error
xsltCompileStepPattern : no namespace bound to prefix list
compilation error: file ListForAll.xsl line 19 element template
xsltCompilePattern : failed to compile 'list:item'
Where can I learn about namespaces and what do I have to add
to my xsl stylesheet for performing that?
---xsl style sheet-------------------------------------
<xsl:stylesheet
  version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>Item List</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      <ul>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </ul>
    </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="list:item">
  <li>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks.
You can add the namespace information in the stylesheet element after the
one there already. You'll need to copy the uri from the xml document.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:list="uri for list
goes here">
