css insert text
This is what I have done as per your suggestion.

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY qspcss SYSTEM "qsp.css">
]>
.....

<style type="text/css">
<xsl:comment>
&qspcss;
</xsl:comment>
</style>

Works like a charm :). Not a biggie but maybe this should go into Dave
Pawsons FAQ as:

"Adding a .CSS to the output of your HTML-XSL " or something of the
sort.

Thanks David.

you can't do this in pure xslt1 although xslt 2 draft does have a
version
have a function for reading text files rather than xml ones.

Some processors have extension functions to do this (and it would be
easy to do in a any of teh java ones or msxml that let you escape to
some other language to pull in the file) or if your parser supports
xinclude you could use that.

> I tried and <xsl:include> and <xsl:import> don't work.
well they are compile time directives for including xsl stylesheets.
What you want is not that but a version of the document() function for
plain text. this has been added in xpath 2 draft.

If your css doesn't contain & or < then you can go
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY css SYSTEM "mycssfile.css">
]]>
<xsl:stylesheet....

<style>
&css;
</style>

....
