[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] How to use ENTITY declarations and references?
 I really am having a hard time with what seems to be some basic XML/XSL.
Given this minimal stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"
result-ns=""
>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
...And this XML:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE foo [
<!ENTITY breakfast "Breakfast">
<!ENTITY cent "¢">
<!ELEMENT foo (SomeText)>
<!ELEMENT SomeText (#PCDATA)>
]>
<foo>
<SomeText>
Try Our 99¢ &breakfast; Special!
</SomeText>
</foo>
...I get the following output from LotusXSL:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
Try Our 99 Special!
</HTML>
And then if I change the stylesheet to use this (now invalid) namespace URI
so that XT will parse it...
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
...I get the following result from XT:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
Try Our 99¢ Breakfast Special!
</html>
So my questions are...
1. If you declare an entity, shouldn't the XSL document have access to those
entities? XT seems to think so, but LotusXSL differs.
2. Why the ¢ in the output from XT?
3. Are the parsers simply looking for specific URIs when they determine
whether the namespace declarations are valid? Is this really necessary?
4. Where is the <!DOCTYPE> coming from in the output?
