Subject: [xsl] Value-of, copy-of From: Eric Vitiello <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 09:23:41 -0500 |
ok. so awhile back we had a somewhat heated discussion of value-of/copy-of, and where the line is drawn between content and structure. taking the discussion to heart, I evaluated my practice of using CDATA blocks to enclose data which I felt was not part of the structure, and using value-of, with disable-output-escaping="yes", and have switched some of my data to a CDATA-less layout, and I'm attempting to convert the style sheets to use copy-of. I have the following XML (this is a small portion of it): <?xml version="1.0"?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"> <item> <title>Rebuilding of the website</title> <description> <p>this website has now been rebuilt. We're using an all-css all-the-time layout. The backend articles is now in formatted with <acronym title="Resource Description Format">RDF</acronym>, ready for syndication.</p> </description> <dc:date>2002-02-26</dc:date> <dc:language>en</dc:language> <dc:source></dc:source> <dc:creator></dc:creator> <dc:contributor>Eric</dc:contributor> </item> </rdf:RDF> the chunk of XSL in question is: <div class="blurb"> <xsl:copy-of select="rss:description"/> </div> my problem is that the processor output is: <div class="blurb"> <description xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"> <p>this website has now been rebuilt. We're using an all-css all-the-time layout. The backend articles is now in formatted with <acronym title="Resource Description Format">RDF</acronym>, ready for syndication.</p> </description> </div> I don't want it to output the <description> elements, only the content inside. I've tried using child::rss:description and descendant::rss:description, but I get exactly the same output. I'm also a bit annoyed by it putting the namespace declarations in the output, but I think it's probably a simple namespace mixup. I have the following namespaces defined in the XSL: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:rss="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> I wasn't able to find anything dealing with this value-of and copy-of issue anywhere. I'm just learning to deal with namespaces, so bear with me! --- Eric Vitiello Perceive Designs <www.perceive.net> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
