Hi,
I have no idea how to even look this problem up in the archives. If the
answer is there, I apologize.
I find that a template such as
<xsl:template match="/Workbook">
<xsl:apply-templates select="DocumentProperties" />
</xsl:template>
is invoked when the element name is undecorated with a namespace attribute:
<Workbook>
.
</Workbook>
but is not invoked when the namespace is present:
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";>
...
</Workbook>
How does the template have to be changed to be invoked for the second case?
In the second case <Workbook> is in the namespace
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" because it's unprefixed
and the default namespace (the one used by unprefixed elements) has
been changed using xmlns="..."
Oddly the same namespace has been defined again for the "ss" prefix,
which is a bit pointless - either <Workbook> should be changed to
<ss:Workbook> and don't change the default namespace, or the "ss"
prefix should be dropped.
Either way, what you need to do to define that namespace in your
stylesheet and give it a prefix, say "ss" as well, then use that
prefix when referring to that element.
For example:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" ........>
and then
<xsl:apply-templates select="ss:Workbook"/>
<xsl:template match="ss:Workbook">
etc
