Hi,

This question relates to DocBook and XSLT. I hope this is an appropriate place to ask the question.

I am new to DocBook and XSLT. I am using DocBook with DocBook XSL 1.69.1.

I want to use a processing instruction in my DocBook XML to indicate the location of my customization.xsl file. I was hoping it would look something like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?MyInstruction CustomizationLayer=" customization.xsl" ?>
<book>
.
.
.
</book>

I would then write a template to capture the value such as:

<xsl:template match="processing-instruction(‘MyInstruction’)">
“do something here”
</xsl:template>

However, I am unable to capture “MyInstruction” at all. It does work if I put the processing instruction in the “<chapter>” element, but this would be inappropriate.

Can someone tell me the proper way to handle this?

Hi Jerry,

See the following example to match a specific PI

<xsl:template match="processing-instruction()[local-name() = 'MyInstruction']">
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</xsl:template>

Hope this helps
