[EP-tech] Re: Namespace information stripped from templates

[Matthew Kerwin]

Hey guys,

In addition to the message below, my personal attempt at resolution uses a "blacklist"-type pattern, whereby certain namespaces are either stripped or dropped.  I don't know how complete or correct it is, but I've attached a diff file just in case.

Cheers

Subject: Namespace information stripped from templates

Namespace declarations along with namespace component of attribute and elements names within templates are not preserved during preparation and output of pages (in 3.2.7). It appears that EPrints::XHTML::to_xhtml() is the culprit, actively stripping namespace info from the elements and attributes.  We came across this while trying to set xml:lang attribute on the html element.

I'm not sure this would be essential to anybody, it may be, but it would be nice if it was fixed for things like specifying xml:lang, Facebook integration, etc.

Cheers
Mark
