Subject: Re: [xsl] DOCTYPE causes appearance of unwanted attributes From: Paul DuBois <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2004 09:27:20 -0500 |
A while back I sent the following message to this list, in which I asked how to prevent xsltproc from adding default element attributes when processing an input document that contains a DOCTYPE declaration. A few people suggested ways to suppress these, but I have now realized that there is a very simple way to keep the attributes from appearing:
Use "xsltproc --novalid" rather than just "xsltproc". Then xsltproc won't look at the DTD.
I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't think of this before, but perhaps by mentioning it here, it will help someone else who has the same problem.
I'm finding that including a DOCTYPE declaration in my source XML document causes the output to contain unwanted attributes.
Stylesheet identity.xsl is a fairly standard identity transform:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/ | node() | @* | comment() | processing-instruction()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Input file 1:
<?xml version='1.0'?> <chapter> <indexterm><primary>abc</primary></indexterm> <literal>abc</literal> </chapter>
Result of "xsltproc identity.xsl junk1" is:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <chapter> <indexterm><primary>abc</primary></indexterm> <literal>abc</literal> </chapter>
Input file 2 (same but with DOCTYPE):
<?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC '-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN' "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd" >
<chapter> <indexterm><primary>abc</primary></indexterm> <literal>abc</literal> </chapter>
Result of "xsltproc identity.xsl junk2" is:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <chapter> <indexterm significance="normal"><primary>abc</primary></indexterm> <literal moreinfo="none">abc</literal> </chapter>
The significance and moreinfo attributes have been added.
1) Why is this? 2) Can I suppress it? :-)
