Name

xsl:namespace-alias

Synopsis

<xsl:namespace-alias
   stylesheet-prefix = "prefix"
   result-prefix     = "prefix" />

The top-level xsl:namespace-alias element declares that one namespace URI in the stylesheet should be replaced by a different namespace URI in the result tree. Aliasing is particularly useful when transforming XSLT into XSLT using XSLT; consequently, it is not obvious which names belong to the input, which belong to the output, and which belong to the stylesheet.

Attributes

The prefix bound to the namespace used inside the stylesheet itself. May be set to #default to indicate that the nonprefixed default namespace should be used.

result-prefix, required

The prefix bound to the namespace used in the result tree. May be set to #default to indicate that the nonprefixed default namespace should be used.
