Hi all,

Short:
  How does one "close" a DOCTYPE assignment tag?

Long version: I'm running MSXSL4.0 (within XML Spy) and am trying to use document() within the XSL to read in about 40 different files. Below is the first of them in its entirety.

        <CTL LANGUAGE="EN" CHALAB="1">Linear Spaces</CTL>
      </TIG>
    </CHACON>
  </JWSBHD>
</JWSCHA>

I receive the following error:

XSL Transformation failed due to following error: Error while parsing "file:///M:/books/wiley/lax/xml/c01.xml". A declaration was not closed.

when I try to execute this call:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="c01" select="document('c01.xml')/JWSCHA/JWSBHD/CHACON"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="$c01/CHAINFO/SEQINBOK/@SEQNO"/>
</xsl:template>

matched against a dummy file with an empty root node.

Has anyone seen this before and know what to do about it? When I remove the DOCTYPE line (and the © entity reference), it works fine. How do you close a <!DOCTYPE> tag?
