I'm trying to rebuild a TEI-XML file with lxml.
The beginning of my file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-model href="https://www.ssrq-sds-fds.ch/tei/TEI_Schema_SSRQ.rng"
type="application/xml"
schematypens="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"?>
<?xml-model href="https://www.ssrq-sds-fds.ch/tei/TEI_Schema_SSRQ.rng"
type="application/xml"
schematypens="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css"
href="https://www.ssrq-sds-fds.ch/tei/Textkritik_Version_tei-ssrq.css"?>
<TEI xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" n=""
xml:id="[To be generated]" <!-- e.g. StAAG_U-17_0007a --> >
The first four lines should not matter too much in my opinion, but I included them for completeness. My problem starts with the TEI-Element. So my code to copy this looks like this:
NSMAP = {"xml":"http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0",
"xi":"http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"}
root = et.Element('TEI', n="", nsmap=NSMAP)
root.attrib["id"] = xml_id
root.attrib["xmlns"] = "http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"
The String xml_id
is assigned at some point before and does not matter for my question. So my codes returns me this line:
<TEI xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
n=""
id="StAAG_U-17_0006"
xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
So the only thing that is missing is this xml:id
attribute. I found this specification page: https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-id/ and I know it is mentioned to be supported in lxml in its FAQ .
Btw, root.attrib["xml:id"]
does not work, as it is not a viable attribute name.
So, does anyone know how I can assign my id to an elemnt's xml:id
attribute?
You need to specify that id
is part of the default xml
namespace. Try this:
root.attrib["{http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace}id"] = xml_id
