[xep-support] Microsoft WordprocessingML to XSL FO Converter

[Laub, David]

Would this leave the inner data alone, or get rid of everything with a "ns0" namespace?

e.g. given the following

WordMLDoc
...
<ns0:xyz>
<GoodData1>blah</GoodData1>
<GoodData2>blah</GoodData2>
</ns0:xyz>

I want to preserve GoodData1 & GoodData2 and only strip out the ns0: tags

Hi David,

You can preprocess with a style sheet as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
                xmlns:ns0="..."
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

   <xsl:output method="xml"
               indent="no"
               version="1.0"
               encoding="UTF-8"
               omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

   <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>


   <xsl:template match="ns0:*">
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

This will "look through" the foreign namespace.

A similar template matching any non-Microsoft namespace could also be added to the WordML to XSL-FO style sheet, or in this one for that matter.

Regards,

Werner.
