Re: [xsl] How do I display an SVG file using XSLT?

[Greg Faron <gfaron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Forgetting for the moment the SVG issues, you're basically asking:
How do I convert the element

> <image NAME="images/svg_test.svg" WIDTH="219" HEIGHT="174" />

into

> <object data="images/svg_test.svg" width="219" height="174"
> type="image/svg+xml"></object>

?

  Looking at your template...

>                <xsl:attribute name="type">
>                   <xsl:value-of select="image/svg+xml" />
>                </xsl:attribute>

  Here's your immediate problem.  The value-of above implies that there 
exists  in the xml the following structure:
<image NAME="..." WIDTH="..." HEIGHT="...">
  <image>
    <svg+xml>...</svg+xml>
  </image>
</image>

  What you mean to say is <xsl:text>image/svg+xml</xsl:text> since that is 
the literal string that you wish to appear as the 'type' value.

  Your whole template above can be written as
<xsl:template match="image">
  <object type="image/svg+xml">
    <xsl:attribute name="data"><xsl:value-of select="@NAME"/></xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="width"><xsl:value-of 
select="@WIDTH"/></xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="height"><xsl:value-of 
select="@HEIGHT"/></xsl:attribute>
  </object>
</xsl:template>

  As for what fills the resultant object in your browser after this 
conversion, that is up to your browser configuration / object installation 
/ registry settings.
