Thanks for your reply, Mr. Pietschmann!

I finally succeeded in showing a text data from URL in a pdf file!

As you mentioned, I used the ENTITY command in DTD file and specified the
entity name in xml file.

My work is as follows:



In xml file,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding='Shift_JIS'?>

…

<url>&urltext;</url>

…

In xsl file,

<xsl:template match="url">

<fo:block

<xsl:apply-templates />

</fo:block>

</xsl:template>

and in dtd file,

<!ENTITY urltext SYSTEM "URL">



I really appreciate for your help!

Thank you very much!

Ryoko
