Using prefix in SUB-Template XMLTemplater

M

Hi,

I´m trying to create an XML-file from an excel sheet.

I have an xsd-file to create my header information in the ROOT-Template and it contains a number of prefix (namespace) definitions (not sure about the correct names here). When running the workspace it works fine using prefixes in the ROOT Template part but when using the same prefixes in the SUB template I get an error telling me it is not defined. Can I make the SUB Template recognize the definitions in the ROOT Template or can I somehow define them in the SUB Template but not writing it out in the _result attribute in the sub-part of the xml-file?

Make sure to declare the namespace(s) (prefix)  in the SUB template expression. Something like this.

declare namespace xxx="http://the-namespace.com/xxx";
<xxx:tag>
...
</xxx:tag>

or

<xxx:tag xmlns:xxx="http://the-namespace.com/xxx">
...
</xxx:tag>
