My XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
 xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings";
 xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
 xmlns:libxslt="http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/namespace";
 exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml">
 <xsl:template match="NewsML">
<story_text deepcopy='yes'><xsl:copy-of
select="ContentItem/DataContent/xhtml:html/xhtml:body/*"/></story_text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>



OUTPUT:

<story_text><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>  (Adds company
news, index futures and analyst comment)</p>
 <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> Early signs of improving

Question:

How to remove the namespace from the p tags for the output through
XSL. Is there any syntax error in XSL.

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks and Regards
