I've been searching around the web but can't find
an answer to what I assume is a FAQ:
How do you specify an HTML doctype when using the
XSLT "Literal Result Element as Stylesheet"
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#result-element-stylesheet>?
This feature of the language isn't actually all that widely used in my
experience (it's almost never asked about here, which indicates either it's
rarely used, or works so perfectly no one ever asks about it) -- hence, not
such a FAQ....
You need an HTML DTD or else browsers won't render
XHTML transitional output correctly....
If you can't do this, then the HTML examples in
section 2.3 of the XSLT 1.0 spec are *very*
misleading...
Well, since XSLT 1.0 was finished and made it to Rec in 1999, and XHTML
first saw the light in 2000 ... and browsers have taken even longer to
catch up ... it's perhaps forgiveable if XSLT has failed to anticipate all
the challenges of deploying XHTML.
Sorry that's not much of a help.
Cheers,
Wendell
