Hmmm... could you post a bit more elaborate version of the source and
desired target?
Yes thanks I attach it at the end ...
Just having a bit of difficulty seeing the problem here. If
I try a template with xsl:copy-of, this gives me an identical copy of the
source node it is being used on, including attributes,
sorry that was my fault with some early tries of xsl:copy
and, if specified
correctly in the source document, it will also copy the namespace and
respective prefixes.
I would really appreciate your help specifying them correctly in this case:
part of the XML file:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<doc>
<text>
This is some <i>italic</i> and a table <table
align="center"><tr><td>hello</td></tr></table></text>
</doc>
So now I understand that the following stylesheet
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:om="http://www.openmath.org/OpenMath";
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common";
extension-element-prefixes="exsl"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML
2.0 plus SVG 1.1//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/2002/04/xhtml-math-svg/xhtml-math-svg.dtd"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
does produce a copy of the text element with the <i>s and <tables>s etc
appropriately copied
but I have this problem with the xmlns
<text xmlns="">
This is some <i>italic</i> and a table <table
align="center"><tr><td>hello</t
</tr></table></text>
which is only avoided if one uses namespaces for the HTML element.
Also I am not sure if I want to keep this <text> element there (maybe its
name should be changed if possible to something more xthml-ish or better I
did:
<xsl:template match="text">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
...
<xsl:template match="font">
<xsl:copy-of select=".">
</xsl:copy-of>
</xsl:template>
but this would mean that I need to write templates for alll possible HTML
elements ?
(which i will at some point when I clearly specify my XML files but this is
another story)
Could we find a way round that and instead of copying text create a new
element say
<span xmlns="...">
...
</span>
That would have the copy of the text element of the first XML file ..
something like copying into differnt namespaces ?
I hope I make sense ... I am rather excausted goodnight
George
ps.
This reminds me the reason that I use CDATA as this dirty bit of XML there
is like a hack as th DTD doesn't allow HTML elements :-) but that's another
issue
