In general you can't do that with XSLT, so you're using the wrong
technology to achieve what you want. On the other hand, it may make
sense to consider *why* you want that... Are you producing output for a
broken system that doesn't fully support XML (in which case these issues
should be irrelevant)?
yes i was afraid i cant do that with xslt. the technology is the right one.
i just choose te wrong way to go.
sometimes its good to know you have reached the limit :)
the background: i am actually writing xml-to-php transformation (with
multiple documents and a php-template as input). because of the php section
in the html code i had to choose between - 1) simulating xml output and
manipulating the encoding or 2) getting html output and manipulating the
processing instructions.
thank you all for the great help!
