From my understanding dtd's provide definition for the xml file we are going to write. Am I correct?

It provides a definition to the stylesheet writer, not to the XSLT processor. XSLT can produce *any* XML vocabulary output that the stylesheet writer actually creates, even a *wrong* one if the stylesheet writer does not write their stylesheet correctly.


In this case, If I want cover all the definitions i should refer dtd's while writing XSLT file.

Yes, *you* should refer to the DTD, not have XSLT refer to the DTD.


In this case how the dtd's are irrelevant in XSLT.

Because you cannot constrain XSLT by a DTD ... an XSLT processor does not and cannot work with DTD files in any way for output (and only a very limited way for input: defaulted attributes, unparsed entity declarations and ID-typed attribute declarations).


I hope this clarifies my comments.
