I am wanting to parse an augmented XHTML with footnote elements <footnote>footnote</footnote> and <footnotes/> to XHTML using XSLT. Before implementing footnotes I am having problems with the namespaces. Given footnote.xsl :- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8"/> <xsl:template match="/xhtml:html"> <html> <xsl:copy-of select="xhtml:head"/> <xsl:copy-of select="xhtml:body"/> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> And test.html :- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Footnote test</title> </head> <body> This is a test </body> </html> I am getting :- C:\Users\Aaron Gray\Documents>msxsl test.html footnotes.xsl <html xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Footnote test</title> </head> <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> This is a test </body> </html> I am obviously missing something simple, ie a default namespace definition, but cannot see how to. Hope you can help. Many thanks in advance, Aaron

Okay very obvious ! <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict"> <xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <xsl:copy-of select="/html/head"/> </head> <body> <xsl:copy-of select="/html/body"/> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> But reading from the input XHTML does not seem to work now :( I tried adding an xmlns:xhtml namespace but that did not want to work either.

You will have to decide what the output of the stylesheet should be, whether you want HTML 4 with elements being in no namespace or whether you want XHTML with elements being in the namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml. If the input is really XHTML (meaning elements in the XHTML namespace) and you want HTML 4 output then you can't use xsl:copy or xsl:copy-of as you then copy the elements including their namespace. Instead you need to strip the namespace e.g. <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml"> <xsl:template match="xhtml:*"> <xsl:element name="{local-name()}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/

The following seems to work for a start ... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:copy-of select="*"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Thanks, Aaron
I cannot seem to get head and body to match :- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="html"/> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="head" mode="html"> head <xsl:copy-of select="*"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="body" mode="html"> body <xsl:copy-of select="*"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Help, Aaron
I was given a solution by Jesper Tverskov on the XSL mailing list :- http://www.xmlplease.com/xhtmlxhtml It does the job nicely. Aaron
