Hello,

I have created a fairly simple stylesheet that converts XHTML code into an XSL that, when used with any XML document, gives back the original XHTML code.

You may say: This is useless.

And you are absolutely right.

Let's go for an example:

<!-- source1.html -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Some title with weird entities like&nbsp;&eacute;&icirc;</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>


When applying my XSL, I get an XSL containing, among other things:
[...]
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Sometitle</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
[...]


*MY GOAL IS BEING ABLE TO use this source file instead* :
<!-- source2.html -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Some title with weird entities like&nbsp;&eacute;&icirc;</title>
</head>
<body>
      <xsl:value-of select="/doc/somenode/something" />
      <xsl:apply-templates select="/doc/otherthings" />
</body>
</html>

Well, it does not work, as the xsl:* tags are not recognized as being part of XHTML.

I can act on the HTML file header. The only part that must remain constant is from the <html> tag to the </html> tag.

If I take the <!DOCTYPE ...> out of the document, if I do not have weird entities somewhere in the document, it works nicely. But if I have entities not XML standard, it does not work.

Maybe this is not the rightplace to ask. If so, please tell me so.

Thank you very much.
