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

Fri Feb 24 16:43:42 CST 2012

Whenever I come across a problem like this... it is always namespace.

You need to declare the html namespace in your XSLT and use that prefix in your XPaths. (Or set XPath-default-namespace)

Hi,

I am pretty much going crazy here trying to capture an xhtml title value and present it within some xml output.
The xhtml

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
        <title>Building Standards Domestic Handbook - General</title>

        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
    <meta name="keywords" content="Building Standards Scotland, Technical Handbooks, Domestic, 2010" />
</head>

My XSL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <Legislation>
            <ukm:Metadata>
                <dc:title>
                   <xsl:value-of select="html/head/title" />
                </dc:title>
       all closing tags are present

I apologies for the really newbie question, but I've been stuck on this for quite literally an hour or so and the only output I can get is by replacing xsl:value of with ".", which returns the full xhtml page... not what I want.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards and thank you in advance.
