Re: [xsl] problem with embedded svg in XML being parsed out by XSL

Wendell:

That's it.  I had tried the "copy-of" before, but never even thought about
my namespaces.

Thanks a million.

Louis,

Two things. First, your template isn't matching since you don't have the
namespaces lined up.

Try writing your template like so:

<xsl:template match='svg:svg' xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
   ...
</xsl:template>

(Even better would be to put that namespace declaration up at the top of
the transform, with the others in the xsl:stylesheet start tag.)

This way, your template will actually match the element in your source.

Second: change your xsl:value-of (which says copy the string value of the
node to output) to xsl:copy-of (not xsl:copy). xsl:copy-of makes a copy of
the node (what's called a "deep copy", with all attributes, descendants
etc. intact).

I hope that helps,
Wendell
