Hi Jennifer,
namesp. cut : stripped namespace before processing
This indicates that the stylesheet being applied to your DocBook 5 document
is the non-namespaced version. That stylesheet cannot match on namespaced
elements, so it first converts the DocBook 5 document to DocBook 4 before
processing. In doing so, it converts external links to <ulink> and that
element does not support xlink:title attributes.
I suggest you instead process your document with the namespaced version of
the stylesheets with are meant for DocBook 5, (with "-ns-" in the directory
name). If you are using an old version of Oxygen, it may not have them, but
you can download them from SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl-ns/1.77.1/
With that stylesheet, it will not convert your link to ulink, and it will
output the title attribute from the xlink:title input.

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] xlink:title not getting into HTML, 1.77.1
Hi Bob
thanks for your reply!
Can you supply more details:
1. Are you using DocBook 4 or DocBook 5 XML?
5.
2. Can you provide an example of your linking element with xlink:title
in it?
OK, experiment coming up. I've gone back and found an XML and HTML pair
from an old article, that I hadn't touched for a couple of years.
XML original:
====
<link
xlink:href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/apr/25/david-cameron-david-mitchell";
xlink:title="Article, 25 April 2010">this article</link>
====
When I last did the HTML transform on that one, back in 2010, it wrote:
====
<a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/apr/25/david-cameron-david-mitchell";
title="Article, 25 April 2010">this article</a>
====
Doing it again just now, without changing the XML at all, produces:
====
<a class="ulink"
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/apr/25/david-cameron-david-mitchell";
target="_top">this article</a>
====
I presume since you are using Oxygen that your file validates and the
xlink namespace is properly declared.
Well my understanding of namespace protocol is only middling, so wouldn't
like to guarantee "yes", but here's what I've got...
XML declaration is like this:
<article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; version="5.0"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
Top-level XSL file has:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
- should there be something else there? oXygen does point me at that
file, as the destination associated with the following "info" message from
the transform reporting bit:
== quote from oXygen ==
SystemID: [redacted]/XSL/WordPressCustom/docbookWP.xsl
Description: Note: namesp. cut : stripped namespace before processing
Election day
== end quote ==
("Election day" is the name of the article)
which looks a bit suspicious maybe? I think it's always thrown up that
same message, but as it always used to do (or seem to be doing) everything
fine in practice, I've always ignored it till now. Could it be one of
those things where it's technically always been an error but the software
used to be more forgiving of it?
anyway that's what I've got so far...
thanks again
Jennifer
