Hi

You can use the following format.

<xsl:template match="root"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>

This template match will not consider namespace of "root" element. It will
process both the formats. If you want to process the namespace, you can use
the following format:

<xsl:template match="root"><xsl:apply-templates/>: <xsl:value-of
select="@xml:ns"/></xsl:template>

Subject:  How to process elements with and without namespaces


Hi

I would like to process XML files that it's document root element can have
or not have namespaces:

For example:

XML 1:

<root>
  ...
</root>

XML 2:

<root xml:ns="http://whatever.com.ve">
  ...
</root>

How can I write my XSL document to process both?

Thanks in advance
