[oXygen-user] Customizing footers in output PDF

[Ethan Metsger]

Hi, all.

I confess that I'm something of an XSLT newbie.  I'm working on  
customizing the output footers for our PDF documentation, and I'm having a  
difficult time of selecting the appropriate elements using XSLT.

I'm trying to use the pagesetup.xsl stylesheet as a template, and I've  
been doing some work trying to construct the appropriate <xsl:value-of>  
selection.  It has been somewhat difficult to use what should be a very  
simple selection:

    <xsl:value-of select="book/info/productname"/>

The problem is that "book" no longer lives in the default namespace, but  
(it seems) in the "d" namespace:

<xsl:stylesheet exclude-result-prefixes="d"
                  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                 xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"

I've tried removing the "exclude-result-prefixes" item and trying several  
variations on the above value-of query:

    <xsl:value-of select="d:book/info/productname"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="d:/book/info/productname"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="d:book/d:info/d:productname"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="d:productname"/>

And the like.  I know that the rule is being triggered because I'm getting  
textual output in the resulting PDF.  But so far I'm mystified about how  
to go about modifying the header with the product name and version.  I am  
nearly certain the issue is namespace related, because I'm able to get  
xsltproc to transform the xml file using pretty trivial xsl.

I've attached both.  I ran:

    xsltproc test.xsl 00_XBinder_Master.xml

I'm using Saxon with Oxygen for the transformation.


Best,

Ethan Metsger
