The list ahs helped me make progress with this effort. Particularly advice
from David Carlisle about transitioning from nonamespace to the xhtml
namespace. With that help, I can get html tags within part of my output,
however, now I need to achieve the same in another part. I probably don't
completely understand David's original advice completely, so I may be
misapplying it.
Here is a small sample of the xml document.
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<HistoryPages>
<page seq="18">
<url>thoreauMentions.html</url>
<title>Thoreau Refers to the Middlesex in Walden<title>
<content>
<p class="content">Some Text</p>
<p class="content">In his opening to the chapter "Visitors" in <span
class="it">Walden; or, Life in the Woods</span></p>
</content>
<popup>
<text>See the text about "Visitors" in Thoreau's <span
class="it">Walden</span></text>
<link width="500" height="400">thoreauText.html</link>
</popup>
</page>
</HistoryPages>
Here is a representative part of my transform
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:output doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";
method="html" indent="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1" />
<xsl:template match="page">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en" xml:lang="en" >
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
<link type="text/css" href="../style/storyPages.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<title>
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:call-template name="pageTitle"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="xh" select="content/*" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="popup"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="xh">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}"
namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="xh" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="pageTitle">
<p id="page-title">
<xsl:value-of select="@seq"/>. <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="popup">
<xsl:variable name="a" select="link/text()"/>
<xsl:variable name="h" select="link/@height"/>
<xsl:variable name="w" select="link/@width"/>
<xsl:variable name="tip" select="tip"/>
<li>
<a href="../popups/{$a}"><xsl:value-of select="text"/></a>
</li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
My desired outcome is that the <span class=it> and </span> tags are
preserved. The transform achieves that for the <p class="content"> material,
but I can't figure out how to do this for the material in popup.
I want to achieve this with the popup template:
<li><a href="../popups/thoreauText.html">See the text about
“Visitors” in Thoreau’s <span
class="it">Walden</span></a></li>
However, what I do achieve is this:
<li><a href="../popups/thoreauText.html">See the text about
“Visitors” in Thoreau’s Walden</a></li>
What do I need to do?
