Re: [xsl] XHTML html validation

One more thing: if you want to force a certain string on thebeginning of your file, you can use a trick with character-maps inXSLT 2 to get it there. I've put a workaround on this or saxon's lista while ago, but it is easy enough to implement.
Thanks, looks like I need this.

Here's a stylesheet that illustrates that solution. Note, this is an*UGLY* workaround for non-conforming XSLT 2 processors to hack around abug. You really should use the declaration in my previous post if yourprocessor can handle it.


<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
   xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>

<xsl:output method="xml" use-character-maps="doctype"/><xsl:character-map name="doctype" >

       <xsl:output-character
           character="&#xE050;"
           string='&lt;!DOCTYPE html
               PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>' /></xsl:character-map>

   <xsl:template match="/" name="main">
       <xsl:text>&#xE050;</xsl:text>
       <html>
           <head>
           <title>test</title>
           </head>
           <body>
               <p>bla</p>
           </body>
       </html>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
