Hi all,
In my project I concatenate multiple xhtml files in one xml files. This
aggregate file has to be edited by hand, that means indentation is
important here for convenience.
Before I discovered XML Catalog, I used to delete all DOCTYPE
declarations within source XHTML file with a perl script (which also
remplace named entities with UTF-8 ones). This worked fine : the
concatenated files were indented exactly like the XHTML sources.
But this was a bit dangerous in case I didn't match a special entity to
replace with perl. And this was not a really good XML practice.
Now that I'm using a local XML Catalog and run my tranformation with
Saxon in command line with this options :
-r:org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver
-x:org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader
-y:org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader
Lets go in the probleme, my XSL is a simple identity template :
<xsl:output method="xhtml" indent="no" encoding="UTF-8"
omit-xml-declaration="no" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"/>
<xsl:template match="* | @* | processing-instruction() | comment()"
mode="copy">
<xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*" mode="copy"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy"/>
</xsl:template>
this is my XML source :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="my.js"></script>

the head element is now indented and the table too, this is what i would
like... but I don't want to comment the doctype in the source.
Has it something to do with the XHTML DTD model ? Any Idea how to
achieve what I'd like ?
Thanks,
Matthieu.
