Re: [xsl] Sorting network addresses

[Craig W <codecraig@xxxxxxxxx>]

How can add the DTD into my XSLT?  Before the part that goes

<networks>
    <xsl:value-of select="$newline" />
...

I want to add the DTD for the XML that will be generated (so that the
generated XML has its DTD)..

I want something like..

<!DOCTYPE networks [
    <!ELEMENT ......>
    ....
]>
<networks>
      <xsl:value-of select="$newline" />


but i am not sure how to get the DTD in there....the above gives errors.

thanks
