In theory all these things are equivalent according to the namespace rec and so equivalent in the XPath data model and so you can not _force_ that xslt writes things one way or another: you coul just write an identity transform and find that your XSLT system changes your document from one style to the other. that said, most systems don't arbitrarily change namespace prefixing style just because they can, and do go to some effort to preserve what they devine to be the author intention, so first of all you want to get some namespace nodes on to the top level document element (this will _force_ namespace declarations of these prefixes in the output, what you can't actually uses these prefixes). easiest way of doing that is to declare them in the stylesheet. <xsl:stylesheet ... xmlns:a="urn:a" xmlns:b="urn:b" xmlns:c="urn:c"> then in for your top level element <xsl:template match="/a:a"> <a:a> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates/> </a:a> </xsl:template> by using a literal element here you will get teh namespace nodes from the stylesheet which you wouldn't get if you used xsl:element or xsl:copy for everything else you want to force a prefix so <xsl:template match="a:*"> <xsl:element name="a:{local-name()}"> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="b:*"> <xsl:element name="b:{local-name()}"> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> etc. David -- The LaTeX Companion http://www.awprofessional.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0201362996 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201362996/202-7257897-0619804 ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
