Subject: [xsl] Generating namespace declarations in output documents: How? From: David Moles <david.moles@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2001 16:38:46 -0700 |
<foo> ...some elements... </foo>
<bar xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="[somewhere]"> ...some elements... </bar>
(yes, the transformation from foo to bar is pretty trivial at the moment, but it's expected to get nastier later).
Of course the first thing I tried (since this is the first time I've used XSL) is exactly what they tell you not to do in section 7.1.3 of the XSLT spec --
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="foo"> <xsl:element name="bar"> <xsl:attribute name="xmlns:xsi"> http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation"> [somewhere] </xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> ...some templates... </xsl:transform>
-- you know, the part where it says "Thus, while it is not an error to do [what I just did], it will not result in a namespace declaration being output."
but I confess that (1) I don't understand it, (2), it looks like overkill, and (3), I have to think that anything involving
has got to be The Wrong Thing for something as simple as what I'm trying to do. The couple of FAQs below it don't look like what I want either, or else the explanations aren't clear enough.
