I need to create the following in the XML output:

Not that relevant to your qn but the currently supported version of
those entities (after ISO handed over maintenance of them to W3C/me) are
linked from
http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/REC-xml-entity-names-20100401/
The solution I found was this:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[
<!DOCTYPE dmodule [
<!ENTITY % ISOEntities PUBLIC "ISO 8879-1986//ENTITIES ISO Character
Entities 20030531//EN//XML"
"http://www.s1000d.org/S1000D_3-0/ent/xml/ISOEntities";>
%ISOEntities;
]>
]]>
</xsl:text>
Just wondering if there is a better way to do this.
That's best you can do if you really need an internal subset.
(using pure xslt, saxon has an extension to do this I believe)
Better perhaps is use
<!DOCTYPE dmodule SYSTEM "local.dtd">
which you can generate using <xsl:output doctype-system="local.dtd"/>
then you just haave to write local.dtd to look like (in total)
<!ENTITY % ISOEntities PUBLIC "ISO 8879-1986//ENTITIES ISO Character
Entities 20030531//EN//XML"
"http://www.s1000d.org/S1000D_3-0/ent/xml/ISOEntities";>
%ISOEntities;
Note though that if you do this (or what you suggested) any xml parser
using the file that you generate will (by default) need a network
connection to that server (or to the w3c server if you use the current
versions)
Also I had some interesting results while using StylusStudio. without this
statement things would run in a flash, with it, it would take like a
minute to run. Seems like it was trying to go retrieve this external
entity. When running directly with Saxon I saw no difference in processing
time.
Perhaps it is validating the generated result file?
..dan
If the file is being generated by XSLT, unless you go to a lot of
trouble with disable-output-escaping, it will nothave any entity
references in it, so you should not need to define any entities, so why
do you need to refer to these entity definitions?
