Hi,
With XSLT2, I have an element that can be either in no namespace or
in the default namespace, based on some condition, as in <html>
...
</html>
or
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
... </html>
Without success, I tried things like: <html> <if test="$cond">
<xsl:namespace name="">http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml</xsl:namespace>,
but cannot output a namespace node for the default namespace when the
element is in no namespace <!-- or <xsl:namespace
name="xmlns">http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml</xsl:namespace>, but then
xmlns name is not acceptable,
or even
<xsl:namespace>http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml</xsl:namespace>, but the
name attribute is required -->
</if>
... </html>
The following may also have been nice, if it created a namespace node
rather than an xmlns attribute: <html xmlns="if ($cond) then
'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' else '' ">
... </html>
I understand that I could probably put the body of the html element
in a template (e.g. html-body), define all the (tons of) required
parameters, and do something like:
<xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$cond"> <html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <xsl:call-template
name="html-body"> <xsl:with-param name="xxx" select="abc"/>
...
</xsl:call-template>
</html>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<html>
<xsl:call-template name="html-body">
<xsl:with-param name="xxx" select="abc"/>
... </xsl:call-template> </html> </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
But, especially as this would seem like a common case, I am sincerely
hoping that there is a better way. How should this be better
handled?
What about this?
<xsl:variable name="namespace">
<xsl:if test="$cond">
<xsl:text>http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:element name="html" namespace="{$namespace}">
... Content ...
</xsl:element>
