sundar swamySubject: Adding a simple DOCTYPE using XSLT
Author: sundar swamy

Hi,
I have a XSLT which tranforms one XML to another XML format. The source XML has the simple DOCTYPE which i is not copied over from the source XML to target XML with the XSLT. For example i want to add something like this:-

<!DOCTYPE rootElement>

I dont want the SYSTEM or PUBLIC tags inside the <!DOCTYPE ....>. I tried to use

<xsl:output method="xml" doctype-system="" indent="yes"/>. This does not give me the right output. It prints like <!DOCTYPE rootElement SYSTEM="">.

Could you please help me out on how i can get the simple form the DOCTYPE.

Thanks
ss

XSLT does not have a feature to generate the invalid doctype declaration you request. I suggest hardcoding it as text.

Thanks. Yes i hardcoded in the XSLT to insert the DOCTYPE as follows:-

<xsl:template match="/">
<!--
since doctype-public="" doctype-system="" in xsl:output
doesn't uniformly produce an empty DOCTYPE across all
XSLT processors, we'll use d-o-e
-->
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"
select="'&lt;!DOCTYPE rootelement&gt;

'"/>

But this causes the line breaks to disappear for all other elements/tags. The result XML is without the line breaks. it just displays in one single line. Is there any alternative?

Thanks
ss

Try asking this on the xsl-list run by Mulberry Technologies.
But we know of no standard way to emit a DOCTYPE without a
SystemID or PublicID from XSLT.
