Re: [xsl] xerces2 Element type "xsl:stylesheet" must be declared

[Othman HADDAD <ohaddad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi again,
i'm sory the solution you proposed works fine,but is there any other way 
to declare &nbsp; without using /<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
  <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
]>  ?

/because replacing &nbsp; with &#160; isn't very professionnal and 
practical,i have too many stylesheets and  a lot of poeple that work 
with html are used to use &nbsp;  ..
thank you for your answer.
