Hi,
I'm having difficulty getting the desired effect, though (either with
params or attribute sets), which I think is due to my
misunderstanding of Xpath query syntax. I've constructed a very
small case that illustrates my misunderstanding.
Within an attribute-set, the following evaluates as true
<xsl:when test="/book">
But the following does not:
<xsl:when test="/book/info[1]">
nor does
<xsl:when test="/book/info">
The info element looks like you are using DocBook 5, right?
In this case the above test is expected to fail, because the
element belongs to no namespace. You need the DocBook5 namespace
for each element. Insert the following line in <xsl:stylesheet>:
xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
You have to change the XPath expression a bit to take care of the
DocBook5 namespace:
<xsl:when test="/d:book/d:info[1]">
Thanks for taking the time to answer, but I'm afraid that I'd tried
adding namespaces and that didn't work. Once I've added the correct
namespace declaration, the following test won't match:
<xsl:when test="/d:book">
Let alone anything more complicated. Making the docbook namespace
the default namespace doesn't help either.
I'm a bit confused that "/book" _does_ match - if it were a namespace
issue, then I wouldn't expect that to be matching either?
