Subject: Re: [xsl] retaining entity declarations while converting from one xml format to another From: Ganesh Babu N <nbabuganesh@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:31:30 +0530 |
Hai, Please look at the saxon extension function saxon:doctype. http://saxon.sourceforge.net/saxon6.5.5/extensions.html#saxon:doctype which provides the mechanism to create the entities. In your case you have to re-generate the entities in XML file.
