Re: [xsl] Can't make template match root element with schema info

[omprakash.v@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

Thanks. That's very clear.

that's a bad choice of words as the namespace rec defines "default
namespace" as a specific term meaning something else.

Kindly bear these slip-ups as coming from someone who's still learning. How
many different kinds of namespaces are there in XSLT.

1. no-namespace
2. default namespace
and is there any other?


Cheers,
Omprakash.V

I have difficulty understanding what you mean here.
If your top level element in the source has xmlns="http://somenamespace";
then the default namespace in that file is http://somenamespace and all
unprefixed elements are in that namespace.

To select elements in that namespace from XSLT1 you need to have
xmlns:something=http://somenamespace
in the stylesheet and then use
select="something:elementname"
in any Xpath expression or match pattern.

Note that the fact that the source uses a default namespace and
unprefixed elements is irrelevant, you use exactly the same eexpression
in the Xpath if your source had used prefixed element names
<differentprefix:elementname xmlns:differentprefix=http://somenamespace>
