XSLT requires that the name in <xsl:processing-instruction> should be an
NCName (no-colon-name) in order to make it valid in namespace-aware-XML.
So there is no way of generating the HTML you want to generate. You could
use d-o-e as David Carlisle suggests, or do some post-processing with a text
editor.

Subject: [xsl] Colon Error in Processing-Instruction Name
I have a processing-instruction that works in HTML, but when
I include it in
my XSL, I receive an error stating the name cannot include
colons (namespace
conflict).
This is the processing-instruction as it appears in the HTML file:
<?IS10744:arch name="linkone-enabled"
public-id="-//LinkOne//NOTATION AFDR ARCBASE Linkone enabled//EN"
auto=nArcAuto?>
Obviously, when I try to add this as a processing-instruction
in XSL, I
receive an error message. This is the XSL processing
instruction I used:
<xsl:processing-instruction name="IS10744:arch">
name="linkone-enabled"
public-id="-//LinkOne//NOTATION AFDR ARCBASE Linkone
enabled//EN"
auto=nArcAuto
</xsl:processing-instruction>
Since the name can't include a colon (IS10744:arch), an error
is generated.
I have found two suggested work-arounds:
1. Replace the colon with a space or a dash. This
however does not
work. If I replace the colon in the HTML file, the page does
not display
correctly (it is missing the Linkone selection box).
2. Turn off namespace. I suspect there are some issues
with doing
that. First off, I don't know how to do it. Also, If I turn off the
namespace, will that turn off the namespace validation for the whole
document, or just for the data within the section where it is
turned-off.
NOTE: I may be incorrect in some of this, so feel free to
correct me if I am
wrong, or using wrong terminology.
I can't add the colon after the processing name (ie.
.....name=IS10744>:arch
..... as the output will be <?IS10744 :arch.....
An error message is generated if I use an empty name (ie.
....name="">IS10744:arch name....). Plus, the output
wouldn't work in the
HTML document, as it would be <? IS10744 (space between ? and
IS10744).
I don't seem to be able to use a predefined general entity
(ie :) to
replace the colon.
This is the HTML file which works:
<?IS10744:arch
name="linkone-enabled"
public-id="-//LinkOne//NOTATION AFDR ARCBASE Linkone enabled//EN"
auto=nArcAuto?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";>
<table>
<tr linkone-enabled="entry">
<td linkone-enabled="field" le-name="Stock Code"
le-select="always">500100</td>
<td linkone-enabled="field" le-name="Part Number"
le-select="hide">WR151-12</td>
<td>3/4" Wrench</td>
<td>ea</td>
</tr>
</table>
This is my XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml:stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='StockCodesStylesheet.xsl'?>
<stockcodes>
<indivitems>
<groupcode>Bolts</groupcode>
<stockcode>0015236</stockcode>
<uoi>Ea</uoi>
<supplier>
<suppliername>ABC Supplies</suppliername>
<supplieraddress>
<supplierstreet>123 Maple Way</supplierstreet>
<suppliercity>Wpg</suppliercity>
<supplierpostal>R3J2E7</supplierpostal>
</supplieraddress>
</supplier>
<stockdescriptions>
<description1>Bolt</description1>
<description2>1/2 inch</description2>
</stockdescriptions>
<partnumber>12bbdgr531</partnumber>
</indivitems>
This is the XSL:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="stockcodes">
<xsl:processing-instruction
name="IS10744:arch)">name="linkone-enabled"
public-id="-//LinkOne//NOTATION AFDR ARCBASE Linkone
enabled//EN"
auto=nArcAuto
</xsl:processing-instruction>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="indivitems">
<tr linkone-enabled="entry">
<td linkone-enabled="field" le-name="part-number"
le-select="always">233355</td>
<td linkone-enabled="field"
le-name="Description"><xsl:value-of
select="stockdescriptions/description2"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="uoi"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
What do I need to do to fix this?
Thank you,
Trevor
