Re: [xsl] referencing a stylesheet within xsl:document

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hello Shawn,

you have 2 problems:

1. xsl:document is not part of XSLT 1.0, only of XSLT 1.1, which is no 
longer developed (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt11/). You won't find any XSLT 
processors, that know XSLT 1.1. The only one I know is Saxon in some 
versions.
Alternative for XSLT 1.0 are different processor specific extension 
functions like Xalan redirect.

2. <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="../display.xsl"?>
That's a processing instruction. If you write it in this way in your 
XSLT, it's used (or not) there and not in the output. To create one in 
the result tree, use
<xsl:processing-instruction name="xml-stylesheet">type="text/xsl" 
href="../display.xsl"</xsl:processing-instruction>.

Regards,

Joerg
