XSLT: Recursively Set Prefix For Elements In Tree

• Tweet
• 

        The following stylesheet will recursively set the prefix (namespace) of the element 'Poo' and all child elements/attributes. Saves your main stylesheet having to do this dirty-work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:pop="http://www.example.com/pop"
>
  <xsl:template match="//Poo|//Poo//*" >
    <xsl:element name="pop:{local-name()}">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="//Poo//@*">
    <xsl:attribute name="pop:{local-name()}">
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="processing-instruction()|comment()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="@*">
    <xsl:attribute name="{local-name()}">
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
