RE: Adding Prefixes to Elements

2005-03-07 16:14:22

Ok, I wrote a stylesheet to transform the XSL file and
it works, Thanks!

The only problem is that it aligns everything to the
left margin in the output, even when I do indent="yes"
in the output method.  I want the alignment, spacing,
and indentation to be exactly like it was in the
original xsl file.

In XMLSpy, how would I go about automatically
adding
prefixes to every element name in my XSL
stylesheet.
For example, when I have a template match="A/B/C",
I
would like it to change to x:A/x:B/x:C.

Any suggestions?

Jonathan, if XMLSpy doesn't offer this feature and
you don't find an editor 
that does, perhaps it wouldn't be too difficult to
write an XSL transform to 
accomplish this?

From Sal Mangano's "XSLT Cookbook", the following is
what he calls an 
"identity transform"--one that simply copies input
to output.


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:template match="node(  ) | @*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node(  )"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The idea, then, is to augment this with templates to
transform what you 
want.  For example, to [naively] prefix all "select"
attributes with "x:", 
you could add the following template:

<xsl:template match="@*[local-name() = 'select']">
    <xsl:attribute name="select">
    <xsl:value-of select="concat('x:', .)"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

Of course a realistic template would need to do more
processing such as 
splitting at "/" separators, recombining, etc.
