Thanks for your reply Sam.
Just to clear things up, I'm converting an XML document (not binded to
any namespace) to an Excel XML document.
Meanwhile, I've done a little more research and testing and found out
that fortunately my problem (and confusion) is way more generic than I
thought. So let's step back for a minute and forget my original post
for a second and exemplify again my problem.
== XML document ==
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<values>
<value>0.123</value>
<value>0.234</value>
</values>
== Stylesheet ==
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="required-excel-stylesheet">
<xsl:variable name="taxes" as="item()*">
<xsl:for-each select="//value">
<xsl:element name="tax">
<xsl:element name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(.,'#.00')"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(sum($taxes/value),'#.00')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The output of this transformation is 0.00. If I take out the default
namespace from the stylesheet the output is now 0.35 which is a little
puzzling.
My guess is that both a and b are "binded" to a void namespace and
when I place a default namespace in a surrounding scope I lose access
to the other one, also losing access to a and b, is that right? If
so, the only way to fix this is by creating some other namespace and
bind it to both elements?
I bet this question has been raised tons of times so sorry for having
to take you through this again. :|
Thanks again,
João
