this is my XSL
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<abc:news xmlns:abc="http://abc.com/" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" xmlns:chiba="http://chiba.sourceforge.net/xforms">
<abc:page>
<abc:image>heroimage1.jpg</abc:image>
<abc:year/>
<abc:headlines>
<abc:intro>"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In quis erat. Aenean bibendum. Cras eleifend turpis sed dui. Aenean ac libero quis erat molestie commodo. Suspendisse potenti."</abc:intro>
</abc:headlines>
<abc:headlines>
<abc:intro>"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In quis erat. Aenean bibendum. Cras eleifend turpis sed dui. Aenean ac libero quis erat molestie commodo. Suspendisse potenti."</abc:intro>
</abc:headlines>
<abc:headlines>
<abc:intro>"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In quis erat. Aenean bibendum. Cras eleifend turpis sed dui. Aenean ac libero quis erat molestie commodo. Suspendisse potenti."</abc:intro>
</abc:headlines>
</abc:page>
</abc:news>

Here is my XSL from template.


<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//abc:headlines">
<xsl:value-of select="abc:intro"/><br/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Can't see anything wrong with your code. How did it fail? Perhaps you declared the namespace incorrectly?

namespace is correct. No idea why its failing basically just displays a blank page on output. This is what I have above template tag

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:rcdc="http://rcdc.com/rcdc" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions" xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common" exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" doctype-system="

Please supply the full stylesheet and explain how you are running the transformation.
