RE: [xsl] Entities within my stylesheet.

[Yago Alvarado <Yago.Alvarado@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That was a typo! oops!
I meant xsl:stylesheet and for some reason it doesn't work
although the error is different than the reported one (due to the typo).

ERROR: The element 'xsl:stylesheet' is used but not declared in the
DTD/Schema.

Source: ' version="1.0">'
Line: 4, Pos: 32

I've seen it in the FAQ and everybody assumes that it works like that
but I've never managed to make it work. :-(


Regards,
Yago

That's because the name that you specify in a DOCTYPE declaration
must exactly match the (qualified) name that you use for the document
element in the XML document. In your case, you have:

<!DOCTYPE stylesheet ...>

and:

<xsl:stylesheet ...>...</xsl:stylesheet>

"stylesheet" and "xsl:stylesheet" aren't the same, so any XML parser
should object. Try using:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY ntilde  "&#241;" ><!-- small n, tilde -->
]>

instead and it should work.

Cheers,

Jeni
