Re: [xsl] How to "copy" a DTD reference?

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

If by "DTD reference" you mean a DOCTYPE declaration's SYSTEM and/or PUBLIC 
identifiers, the short answer is (sadly) "no".

You can specify a string value for these identifiers in the doctype-system 
and doctype-public attributes on xsl:output, but they have to be string 
literals, they can't be copied from the input. (The parser doesn't preserve 
these values for the processor in any case, so there's nowhere to copy them 
from.)

Workarounds include using literal values (which must be known to the 
stylesheet in advance) and post-processing.

Cheers,
Wendell
