xsl doctype tag
How do I get XSLT to insert this....

  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

...into my XHTML output? Is a problem

This does not work...

<xsl:template match="/">
  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="howto/head"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="howto/body"/>			
  </html>
</xsl:template>

...because it is mal-formed. As is this too...

<xsl:template match="/">
  <&#33;DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" />
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="howto/head"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="howto/body"/>			
  </html>
</xsl:template>

And this does not work...

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:text>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt;</xsl:text>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="howto/head"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="howto/body"/>			
  </html>
</xsl:template>

...because it prints out the text in the doc.

What is the correct way, please?

Thanks,

Gan
