Re: [oXygen-user] Problems with trivial xhtml --> xml xslt

24 Feb 2012

      Hi John:

It is namespace issue.  Notice your HTML instance has a namespace
declaration.

Add the following namespace to your xsl:stylesheet declaration:

 xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

Use the html: prefix to grab the title and you should be good to go.

 <xsl:value-of select="html:html/html:head/html:title" />

Good luck!

Betty

Hi,
I am pretty much going crazy here trying to capture an xhtml title value
and present it within some xml output.
The xhtml
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
        <title>Building Standards Domestic Handbook - General</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8"/>
    <meta name="keywords" content="Building Standards Scotland, Technical
Handbooks, Domestic, 2010" />
</head>
My XSL
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl"

    <xsl:template match="/">

            <ukm:Metadata>
                <dc:title>
                   <xsl:value-of select="html/head/title" />
                </dc:title>
       all closing tags are present
I apologies for the really newbie question, but I've been stuck on this
for quite literally an hour or so and the only output I can get is by
replacing xsl:value of with ".", which returns the full xhtml page... not
what I want.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards and thank you in advance.
