Hi Martin,



I have added the bxpath-default-namespaceb attribute and now the script
indeed produces the expected result.



Thank you very much for your great help!



The XSL element looks like this now:



<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="2.0"
  xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >



BTW: I had to change the XSL version from 1.0 to 2.0 in the XSL element,
otherwise Oxygen would use Saxon 6.5.5 for validation, which does not support
the xpath-default-namespace atttribute. Now it uses "Saxon-PE 12.3" and the
validation error message disappears.



I found out that I can also change this to bversion=3.0b. The script would
still run without any problems and validation issues.

The stylesheet below is supposed to add a unique 'id' attribute named
'tocref001', 'tocref002' etc. to all <h2>, <h3> and <p class="rn_heading">
elements which are descendants of an element with an 'id' attribute named
'rn_release_notes'. The script runs without any errors, but does not add any
IDs.



The sample input has e.g.

  html xmlns= <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml> "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

meaning it has elements in the XHTML namespace, if you use an XSLT 2 or 3
processor like Saxon Java, SaxonJS, SaxonC or Saxon.NET you can add

  xpath-default-namespace= <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>
"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

on your xsl:stylesheet element in the XSLT code and your match

<!-- Adding id=toc001 attributes to headings to create hyperlink targets for
the TOC -->
<xsl:template match="*[@id='rn_release_notes']//h2 |
*[@id='rn_release_notes']//h3 |
*[@id='rn_release_notes']//p[@class='rn_heading']">


will match XHTML elements.



With more recent version of Saxon (11, 12 at least, I think) you could also
use your original stylesheet code but add the command line option

  -ns:##html5

for execution

The value ##html5 declares that an unprefixed element name will match either a
name in the XHTML namespace, or a name in no namespace.
