ls, I try to retrieve the title from an XHTML document using a stylesheet. Using xsltproc from libxslt-2.6.17 I get no result in case the opening html-element contains a xmlns spec:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> when I remove the xmlns declaration, the title is correctly printed. I expected that in both cases the title should appear. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong? Joost Helberg Both stylesheet and example HTML file are below. Stylesheet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="html/head/title"><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></xsl:template> <xsl:template match="text()"/> </xsl:stylesheet> XHTML file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <title>the title</title> </head> <body>bla bla</body> </html> In case xmlns is mentioned, the title is not produced: $ xsltproc y.xsl y.html $ In case the xmlns attribute is removed (simple <html>), the title appears: $ xsltproc y.xsl y.html <?xml version="1.0"?> the title $ Regards, Joost Helberg -- Joost Helberg Snow B.V. http://snow.nl Tel 0418-653333 Fax 0418-653666 Voorzitter VOSN http://www.vosn.nl Tel 0418-653336 Fax 0418-653666 _______________________________________________ xslt mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xslt
