Re: [xsl] selecting w:p nodes based on w:pStyle attributes

[Terry Ofner <tofner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken, David, Jon:

Thanks for the responses. Your suggestions have helped a great deal. 
I have also learned that transforming WordML documents is not for the 
faint of heart!


To clarify, yes, I am trying to copy w:p nodes to the result tree. 
There are many paragraph styles in these particular Word documents 
and I only need to copy the w:p contents of a handful of them. I have 
taken Jon's suggestion to suppress the output of certain styled 
paragraphs using multiple lines such as this one:

<xsl:template match="w:p[w:pPr/w:pStyle/@w:val = 'TAUnderscore']"/>

I then use copy-of select to write the w;p nodes of selected styled 
paragraphs to the result tree. This all works fine with certain xslt 
processors. For example xsltproc on my Mac gives solid results. 
Exchanger Lite using both Saxon and Xalan produces namespace calls, 
as in this snippet from the result tree. What's that all about?
