Frank, This is more than you asked for, but here: https://github.com/wendellpiez/XMLNamespaceFixup No you don't need that namespace. Getting rid of it isn't hard if you know what it is, exactly. (The topic of what is a namespace I think I'll leave aside, however.) And XSLT instructions such as xsl:copy and xsl:copy-of frequently permit copy-namespaces="no" to avoid unwanted namespace proliferation. Good luck, Wendell On Wed, Mar 22, 2023 at 10:38 AM Frank Dissinger < frank.dissinger@cgs-oris.com> wrote:
Hi all,
I am cleaning up DITA files created with FrameMaker. FrameMaker has added a lot of unnecessary attributes, for example.
Among others, FM has added an *xmlns:ditaarch* attribute to every top-level dita element such as concept, task or reference. Example:
<concept id="id187JBI00EHS" xml:lang="en-US" *xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/" <http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/>*>
Can I safely remove this attribute or is it required?
Regards,
Frank --
