That sounds like an excellent solution. Can you give an example of how
I can add the namespace to the stylesheet so that all elements are
generated in the DocBook namespace?
Thanks.
actually I hadn't noticed that you had posted code.
You need to do what I suggested (take
namespace="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; of the xsl:element as you
don't want just that element in the namespace and add
xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
to xsl:stylesheet so that elements generated in the stylesheet are in
the tight namespace (whether you use literal elements or xsl:element)
so
<xsl:element name="section">
<xsl:attribute name="version">5.0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="xml:id">myIdentifier</xsl:attribute>
although that can be much more simply written as
<section version="5.0" xml;id="myIdentifier">
you only need to use xsl:element or xsl:attribute if the
element/attribute names are being calculated at run time.
However you also need to do what ken suggested, of not using xsl:copy,
as you don't want to copy the elements you need to change their name
(from no namespace names to docbook names)
so change xsl:copy to xsl:apply-templates/>
and have a default rule of the form
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
note here is a case where you do need to use xsl:element as xsl;copy
would preserve the full name including the namespace.
