[sword-devel] namespaces in xsl

[Daniel Owens]

I am writing a stylesheet to display Abbott-Smith's Manual Greek Lexicon 
of the New Testament from Github where I will post releases. I have no 
idea how to get the namespace declaration right in the xsl file. I have 
googled and tried several solutions, but so far nothing works.

The source document, abbott-smith.xml, begins:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="abbott-smith.xsl"?>
<TEI xmlns="http://www.crosswire.org/2008/TEIOSIS/namespace" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.crosswire.org/2008/TEIOSIS/namespace 
http://www.crosswire.org/OSIS/teiP5osis.1.4.xsd">

Here is how abbott-smith.xsl begins:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" />

The only way I can get the xsl to work is to delete the namespace 
declaration from the source document, which does not seem like good 
practice. Simply adding 
xmlns="http://www.crosswire.org/2008/TEIOSIS/namespace" to 
<xsl:stylesheet> in abbott-smith.xsl does not work. Nor does adding it 
as xmlns:tei and adding /tei: to the first XPath query.

Can anyone help me?
