RE: [xsl] namespaces
Subject: RE: [xsl] namespaces From: "Michael Kay" <mhkay@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 21:33:29 +0100 |
The simplest approach is to declare this namespace so that it is in scope for a literal result element in the stylesheet; when the literal result element is copied to the result document, the namespace will be copied too. If you can't do that, e.g. because none of the names of result elements are known at compile time, then you've got a problem! You may be able to use <xsl:copy> to copy a namespace node from some other document - but this isn't guaranteed to work on all processors, because the behavior wasn't defined until the XSLT 1.0 errata came out. Another approach is to output a dummy attribute in the target namespace using <xsl:attribute>, this will force a namespace declaration to be output.
