Hello XSL-List,

I have the following problem:

I have a XML-file which is not very well structured. My aim is to
include different parent elements just for getting a better structure.

This is the source (in extracts):

<root>
     <textabschnitt>
         <h1> ... </h1>
         <p> ... </p>
     </textabschnitt>
</root>

I try to include an element <headings> as parent element for every
<h1> element and use the following transformation:

<xsl:template match="h1">
             <xsl:element name="ep:headings">
                 <xsl:element name="ep:h1">
                     <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="h1">
                         <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                     </fo:block>
                 </xsl:element>
             </xsl:element>
     </xsl:template>

Unfortunately nothing happens to my fo-output.

I would be very thankful for every hint solving my problem.

You are either not calling apply-templates on the h1 element, or the
default namespace is not null.

Either way you'll need to show a bit more code..

cheers

thanks for the reply. I used xsl:apply-templates, too, but the result
was the same.

More code:
<Root>
    <Textabschnitt>
        <fn>[<info_h>auf RC<ckseite der letzten
Inhaltsverzeichnisseite:</info_h> 1885 Duala etwas 20.000 Einwohner
</fn>
        <fn>Cameraes [?] weiCe Krabben </fn>
        <fn>Duala lC<gnerisch, faul, zC$nkisch, prozeCtC<chtig [?] ] </fn>
        <p> </p>
        <p> </p>
        <h1>Geistiger Volksbesitz der Kameruner im Blickfeld des
Missionars</h1>
        <h2>EinfC<hrung</h2>
        <p> </p>...

For every h1, h2, ... element a parent element <headings> should be
included, for every <p> element an parent element <continuoustext>
should be includes and so on. Just for testing with the aim to get a
docbook structure later.

<xsl:template match="h1">
            <xsl:if=".">
               <ep:headings>
                   <ep:h1>
                     <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="h1">
                         <xsl:apply-templates/>
                     </fo:block>
                   </ep:h1>
               </ep:headings>
    </xsl:template>

I hope this helps. Thanks so much,
Andreas
