If you want to edit your document programmatically, you could parse it using SAX with namespace-awareness turned off and have a filter insert an xmlns:ds attribute, which in non-NS mode really is just an attribute with a name that happens to contain a colon. You would then build a document *with* namespaces from the result of that preprocessing step. Well, I'm not quite sure this is possible with LibXML2. It is with Java Xerces ( void setDoNamespaces(const bool) ) [1], but I can't find such an option for Perl's LibXML2 bindings. [2] Don't know the C API. Anyone? Namespace ignorance does not seem to be possible with the XmlReader interface. I'm saying this because I can't find the option in the Perl interface [3]. You could also use a non-XML process, such as Perl and regular expressions to fix thousands of such documents. -- Michael Ludwig [1] http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/program-sax-3.html [2] http://search.cpan.org/~pajas/XML-LibXML-1.70/lib/XML/LibXML/Parser.pod [3] http://search.cpan.org/~pajas/XML-LibXML-1.70/lib/XML/LibXML/Reader.pod _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
