Re: [docbook-apps] AW: [docbook] How to get the lang-attribute ina stylesheet?

[Mansour <mansour77@yahoo.com>]

Someother stylesheet expert may give you a better advice, as I am not 
that advanced. However, if I were you I will do this in one of two ways:
method one: assign a variable then use it as an attribute in your tag. 
For example:

<xsl:variable name="myLang">
    <xsl:value-of select='@lang'  />
</xsl:variable>
<presentation xml:lang="$myLang" default="true" displayviews="true" 
displayviewimages="true">

method 2: is to output the results of the transformation using 
<xsl:element> and <xsl:attrribute>.

<xsl:element name="presentation">
<xsl:attribute name=" xml:lang">
    <xsl:value-of select='@lang'"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="default">true </xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="displayviews"> true</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="displayviewimages">true</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
