Hi Christopher,

Your expected output is not XML as the prefix foo is not bound.
If for instance foo points to the http://www.example.com/foo then the following stylesheet will do what you want:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:foo="http://www.example.com/foo";>
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- matches elements -->
<xsl:template match="*">
<!-- creates an element with the same local name but in the foo namespace-->
<xsl:element name="foo:{local-name()}" namespace="http://www.example.com/foo";>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hello,

I want to create a transform that takes an (X)HTML as an input and gives
back the unchanged but for the addition of a namespace prefix to each
element.  Input file might be as follows:

<html>
<body>
<p><b>Generalized foo here</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Foo 1</li>
<li>Foo 2</li>
</ol>
<p>Final foo</p>
</body>
</html>

Output might be as follows:

<foo:html>
<foo:body>
<foo:p><foo:b>Generalized foo here</foo:b></foo:p>
<foo:ol>
<foo:li>Foo 1</foo:li>
<foo:li>Foo 2</foo:li>
</foo:ol>
<foo:p>Final foo</foo:p>
</foo:body>
</foo:html>

My instinct say to use <xsl:copy-of> but I'm confused about how I might
add the prefix.  Thanks very much.
