Hello,

I am working with DITA OT 3.1.3 and am encountering the following issue.

When I try to obtain the value of the chapter/@xml:lang in a bookmap, for example 

<chapter href="LanguageDe.ditamap" format="ditamap" type="map" xml:lang="de-DE"/>

by using this xpath in this code

<fo:block >
  <xsl:for-each select="//*[contains(@class, ' bookmap/chapter ')]/@xml:lang">
  <fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="__language__identifier" >
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </fo:inline>
  </xsl:for-each>
</fo:block>

the @xml:lang value does not get picked up. I am not sure where the issue lies in the xpath expression because interestingly, when I tested for the @xml:lang on the bookmap element

<xsl:for-each select="/*[contains(@class, ' bookmap/bookmap ')]/@xml:lang">

the @xml:lang value is picked up. I am not sure if this is a DOT313 issue or an xpath issue. Any help would be welcome.

Thank you.

Hi Ute, 

Your XPath "//*[contains(@class, ' bookmap/chapter ')]/@xml:lang" seems to match the xml:lang attribute from something like:

    <chapter href="..." xml:lang="..."/>

Maybe you can set the "clean.temp" publishing parameter to "no", publish and then look in the transformation temporary folder at the "_merged.xml" file to see exactly over what XML structure you run the XPath.

Regards,
Radu
