I don't know where to add:
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"; to the
above.
Use the doctype-system attribute of xsl:output
Second:
I am now using the ADODB Stream method to stream the result of the
transformation correctly and then perform an response.binarywrite.
However, lets say I'm interested in XHTML results so I add
the following
namespace decleration to the stylesheet:
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
The encoding I specified in the xsl:output gets lost is this normal?
This means that the stylesheet won't output a meta element specifying the
encoding, but it shouldn't affect the encoding actually used. The reason it
won't output a meta element is that it doesn't find an HTML head element to
contain it - an XHTML head element is a completely different animal.
Third:
This is illegal? (Doctype decleration in top-level node match)
<xsl:template match="/">
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"/>
Yes, totally illegal. Stylesheets have to be well-formed XML.
