xmlns attribute

Hi All,

I m created style sheet in that i am executing SVg code to draw rectangle and output some code. But the problem is when it is generating XML for the Output in Oxygen editor its adding xmlns="" attribute in all the svg tag.

below is the code for XSLT and output XML

XSLT :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" >
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="go_to_next_state">
            <xsl:with-param name="tape" select="$tape"/>
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:template name="go_to_next_state">
    <xsl:param name="step_number"/> <!-- Increment for each state transition.-->

    <xsl:param name="tape"/> 

    <rect x="20" y="20" width="30" height="30"
        style="fill:blue;stroke:pink;stroke-width:5;
        fill-opacity:0.1;stroke-opacity:0.9"/>
    <text x="30" y="20" style="font-family:arial;text-anchor:middle;baseline-shift:-15;">
        
        <xsl:value-of select="$tape"/>
    </text>

</xsl:template>

Output XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100%" height="100%"><rect xmlns="" x="20" y="20" width="30" height="30" style="fill:blue;stroke:pink;stroke-width:5; fill-opacity:0.1;stroke-opacity:0.9"/><text xmlns="" x="30" y="20" style="font-family:arial;text-anchor:middle;baseline-shift:-15;">123</text>
</svg>

In the above output xml its adding xmlns="" in every svg tag.

Can you please tell me how to avoid that and why its coming.

Thanks

Hari

You have defined the <svg> element to be in the SVG namespace, but you have defined everything else to be in the default namespace, which is the blank namespace.

If you want all literal result elements to be in the SVG namespace then you can simply put the namespace definition on the xsl:stylesheet element e.g.

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
  version="1.0">

  ...

</xsl:stylesheet>
