[oXygen-user] Problems with trivial xhtml --> xml xslt

Fri Feb 24 15:39:17 CST 2012

Hi John:

It is namespace issue.  Notice your HTML instance has a namespace
declaration.

Add the following namespace to your xsl:stylesheet declaration:

 xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

Use the html: prefix to grab the title and you should be good to go.

 <xsl:value-of select="html:html/html:head/html:title" />

Good luck!

Betty
