hi all,
I have a question related to the copy-of function in xslt 2.0:
I would like to deep copy a piece of my source XML to a new XML file,
without declaring all Namespaces of my source XML in my copied excerpt.
I know, I can make use of the xsl:copy-of function with the copy-namespaces
attribute set to 'no'. Then, my targetnamespace is indeed copied, and other
Namespace declarations of my source XML document (such as the foo NS) are
omitted. However, I still would like to keep the xmlns:xsi Namespace
declaration in the copied excerpt (as this would make the latter
self-contained).
Does anyone knows how to do this? I provide an illustrative example below.
Many thanks in advance
chris
source XML:
----------
<foo:wrapper xmlns:foo="http://foo";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<!-- start excerpt to be copied -->
<bar:excerpt xmlns:bar="http://bar";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; >
<bar:subject>blablabla</bar:subject>
<bar:subject>blablabla</bar:subject>
<dc:author xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; >blablabla</dc:author>
</bar:excerpt>
<!-- end excerpt to be copied -->
</foo:wrapper>
output XML:
----------
<bla:container xmlns:bla="http://bla";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<!-- start copied excerpt -->
<bar:excerpt xmlns:bar="http://bar";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; >
<bar:subject>blablabla</bar:subject>
<bar:subject>blablabla</bar:subject>
<dc:author xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; >blablabla</dc:author>
</bar:excerpt>
<!-- end copied excerpt -->
</bla:container>
