XSLT: avoiding unnecessary ns declaration in HTML output

Steffen Beyer

Hi,

my XSLT processes input documents which use various namespaces. Short
example:
XML input:
<news:foo xmlns:news="http://some.example/news"/>
XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:news="http://some.example/news">

<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="news:foo">
<html>
<head><title>Demo</title></head>
<body>
<p>Demo</p>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
HTML output:
<html xmlns:news="http://some.example/news">
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Demo</p>
</body>
</html>
Now, the "xmlns:news" attribute is neither necessary nor valid HTML.
Using LibXSLT, how can I avoid it?

Regards,

Add an exclude-result-prefixes="news" attribute to the stylesheet element.

That's a step forward, thank you!

Is it possible to let this setting apply to the "xsl:copy-of" element?

Modified example:
XML input:
<news:foo xmlns:news="http://some.example/news">
<bar>Demo</bar>
</news:foo>
XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:news="http://some.example/news"
exclude-result-prefixes="news">

<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="news:foo">
<html>
<head><title>Demo</title></head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="bar">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
HTML output:
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<bar xmlns:news="http://some.example/news">Demo</bar>
</body>
</html>

No, it only applies to literal result elements.

I think you have to replace xsl:copy-of with a set of templates that
do the copying. And you can't use xsl:copy for the elements, because
it copies namespace nodes. You would have to use xsl:element to
create an element of the same name.
