Hi Leo, I'm glad!
Should this happen, I guess you could add a filter using an XPath function to test for the namespace of the name of the selected element. https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/qtspecs/specifications/xpath-functions-30/html/Overview.html#func-node-name and https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/qtspecs/specifications/xpath-functions-30/html/Overview.html#func-namespace-uri-from-QName You can test for the absence of namespace easily. There may be even shorter tricks, I wouldn't be surprised if Mike got something out of his magic hat :-) Kind regards, Ghislain On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 11:38 AM, Leo Studer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ghislain > > thank you for your input, which solves my problem. > > However, if I have the same element name in two different namespaces, then > the use of a wildcard namespace makes problems ;-). > > Always > Leo > > On 01 Jun 2016, at 11:06, Ghislain Fourny <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Leo, > > If the input has no namespace, then I think you can declare the default > namespace according to your output (if it is important to you that your > output uses it as a default namespace). > > Then there is a workaround to navigate the input with /*:foo/*:bar > expressions, where the joker prefix should catch the absence of namespace. > > I hope it helps? > > Kind regards, > Ghislain > > > On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 10:20 AM, Leo Studer <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi Michael >> >> > >> > >> > The main difference from the XSLT xpath-default-namespace is that this >> default applies both to names in path expressions and to names in element >> constructors, which is inconvenient when the input and output documents are >> in different namespaces. >> > >> > Michael Kay >> > Saxonica >> >> this is exactly my problem.
