Hi, all.
I'm wondering how to set the default namespace in, say, the <html> tag of an
output document when creating the document with <xsl:result-document>.
I would like the <html> tag to look like this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
Right now it looks like this:
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en">
Just write that directly eg:
<xsl:result-document ...>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
...or set the default namespace on an ancestor of the <html> literal
result element in the xml-that-is-the-xslt, which is a long way of
saying set the xhtml namespace on your xsl:stylesheet element.
I would also like any <link> or <meta> elements in the <head> section to not
contain namespace declarations. In other words, I want to avoid what I'm
getting now, which is:
<meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></meta>
.
<link xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; rel="copyright"
href="../../dcommon/html/cpyr.htm" title="Copyright" type="text/html"></link>
.
That will resolve itself once the ancestor <html> is in the right
namespace, but again its caused by scoping of the namespace in the
xml-that-is-the-xslt... Its intuitive to think that because an element
is added to the result as a descendant of <html> it will take on the
default namespace, but its the location in your stylesheet that
decides what default namespace it has. A good thing to do until the
penny drops is to use a prefix for the xhtml namespace, then its
pretty clear.
