Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] passing attributes from an ARTICLE element to an HTML element
My mistake. The template <xsl:call-template name="l10n.language"/> is used to select
one of the DocBook XSL locale files under common. Since the English one is name
"en.xml", this template processes the @xml:lang value and returns "en". So replace
that call with:
<xsl:if test="@xml:lang">
<xsl:attribute name="lang">
<xsl:value-of select="@xml:lang"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
That will pick up the actual value of the xml:lang attibute.

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] passing attributes from an ARTICLE element to an HTML
element
Hi Bob,
It works, thanks, but there is one small problem. In my source docbook
xml I have:
<article xml:lang="en-us" ...>
In my xhtml output there is:
<html lang="en" xml:lang="en" ...>
..
<body>
..
<div class="article" xml:lang="en-us" lang="en-us" ...>
Please note that while the div element corresponding to the article
element has correct language declaration, i.e. "en-us", the html
element has not, i.e. "en".
What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Robert
