I've noticed for a long time that when I do a transformation of a TEI.2
document, the transformation adds attributes.
I assume that the transformer reads the DTD and adds the attributes
accordingly. Is this correct? Why does it do this? What advantages are
gained from adding these attributes?
Here is my stylesheet, input document, and output document.
Thanks
Paul
Here is my simple stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here is my in document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE TEI.2 SYSTEM "/home/paul/Documents/data/dtds/tei_prose_verse_gen.dtd">
<TEI.2>
<teiHeader>

</sourceDesc>
</fileDesc>
</teiHeader>
<text>
<body >

</TEI.2>
Here is my out document:
