This is probably a naive question, but I could not find it in the archives.
Can I transform xhtml documents using xsl, or does this just not make sense?
I'm trying to replace a tag with a specified attribute to another tag.
The only xpath that does anything is *, which dumps the text of the html.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<verse>
<xsl:value-of select="*"/>
</verse>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I'm using xsltproc and saxon8, both of which do the same thing.
xhtml is in the namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" so you'll
need to modify your stylesheet to match elements in that namespace eg:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="xhtml:"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<verse>
<xsl:value-of select="xhtml:html/xhtml:body/xhtml:div/blah"/>
</verse>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note the namespace declaration on the xsl:stylesheet element and the
modified xpath.
In XSLT 2.0 there's the xpath-default-namespace which is probably
better than bloating your XPaths with the prefix.
