Re: Entities within my stylesheet.

Hi Yago,

<!DOCTYPE stylesheet [
<!ENTITY ntilde  "&#241;" ><!-- small n, tilde -->
]>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
     version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
        &ntilde;
</xsl:template>  

</xsl:stylesheet>


I've seen this many times but I've never managed to make it work.

I always get an error like:

ERROR: The name of the top most element must match the name of the DOCTYPE
declaration.

Source: '<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">'
Line: 6, Pos: 80

That's because the name that you specify in a DOCTYPE declaration
must exactly match the (qualified) name that you use for the document
element in the XML document. In your case, you have:

<!DOCTYPE stylesheet ...>

and:

<xsl:stylesheet ...>...</xsl:stylesheet>

"stylesheet" and "xsl:stylesheet" aren't the same, so any XML parser
should object. Try using:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY ntilde  "&#241;" ><!-- small n, tilde -->
]>

instead and it should work.

Cheers,

Jeni
