Processing XSD Schema File

[Don Giroux]

In an earlier post that I am not able, for some reason, post a reply to, Martin Honnen responded to a Porthos question about processing XSDs using XSL.
I was able to get it to work as described. However, the following command is confusing me.

<xsl:template match="xsd:element">

Is there any other variation on this statement I can use? For example, I want to display a series of two elements and two corresponding parent attributes in a two column table from the XSD. But this above statement restricts me to just finding elements so far as I can tell. I've Googled this statement and can't find any other explanation for it.

Here's the original post.

That is not different from any XSLT task (well XSLT processing an XML
file with namespaces) e.g.:

<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
version="1.0">
 
<xsl:template match="xsd:element">
...
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

It's likely you've seen this already Don, but I did find this link quite fetching. Care to give it a closer look!

Hopefully you are still looking for this, Don...I'll attempt to send you a PM if no news in a few days.

Thanks! I'm trying to make sense of it. I guess you're saying I could use StyleStudio to test with. I'll give it a try.
