Subject: [xsl] getting rid of xmlns



In converting from WordML to OSIS my resulting document starts with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<osis xmlns:w="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml";>
<osisText lang="FR">
<div type="commentary" osisID="Translator'sNotes:Ruth" annotateRef="Ruth">
<div xmlns:w10="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:sl="http://schemas.microsoft.com/schemaLibrary/2003/core"; xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882" xmlns:wx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/auxHint"; xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" xmlns:aml="http://schemas.microsoft.com/aml/2001/core"; xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" type="main"/>


I have no use for any of the xmlns: attributes in the start of this
document.
How do I get rid of them? They have no meaning in OSIS and there are no
references to them within the document otherwise.
I found out the hard way that xmlns is not a matchable attribute.

Thanks for all the help this list provides.

Assuming the namespaces are not used in the result document you need to use exclude-result-prefixes attribute on the stylesheet element.
The value is a white-space separated list of namespace prefixes. So
<xsl:stylesheet ..... . exclude-result-prefixes="w w10" ....>
