Topic: Adding DOCTYPE to XSL for output to XHTML file

Hi there guys, it's been a while since i've asked a question on the Asylum, but here goes...

I've got an XML file, an XSL file and this transforms the XML to a htm.

I want my htm to have the correct doctype declaration at the top of the page for XHTML 1.0 Strict, however i can't find the correct method for adding it into the XSL.

can anyone shed any light on how to go about this, there's very little in the FAQs here to give me any clues, and searching didn't help me much either.

TIA,

Cheers,

[quick_reply] you could well put the doctype declaration the XHTML output in a <[CDATA[ ... ]]> [/quick_reply]

Tried that but it always seems ot put &lt; and &gt; araound the doctype instead of the actual arrows

P.S: is it possible for someone to edit the name of the subject, it should read XSL instead of CSL

Alright alright, I've answered my own question it seems, (or course it's not easy for anyone else that may have looked at this as I didn't post any code, but hey :P )

I didn't have the <xslutput /> element set, but now having this...

<xsl:output

	method="html"

	omit-xml-declaration="yes"

	doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

	doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"

	indent="yes"/>

Will nicely remove the xml declaration from teh top of the page and set the DOCTYPE for me, i didn't realise there was even such a thing, how cool is that!

*Wonders how many time he's answered his own questions on the Asylum?*

Cheers Anyway poi, I hope this will be of use to someone in the future!
