I'm trying to convert EPUB2 files to EPUB3. In the course of that, I need to
include some epub:type attributes. I also want to include a <!DOCTYPE html>
declaration, although I have seen it argued that the declaration is not
necessary.
I have managed to get the DOCTYPE declaration to work by a method that has been
described before in a number of places, and I have the epub:type attributes
appearing on the relevant elements. However, the epub namespace is declared on
every element, and I haven't been able to get it into the root element. How
can I do this?
My stylesheet starts like this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xh="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops";
exclude-result-prefixes="xs xh"
version="2.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output method="xhtml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><!DOCTYPE html></xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
