Re: [xsl] extending the DTD

[Abel Braaksma <abel.online@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

I saw you already found your solution, using saxon extension functions. 
Just for the sake of completeness, for others to find, here's a summary 
of what you are likely to have found:

<!-- defining an entity using a doctype declaration -->
       <saxon:doctype xsl:extension-element-prefixes="saxon">
           <dtd:doctype
               name      = "index"
               system    = "D:\RND\ECW\Asiatype DTD\ATI_1.4.dtd"
               xmlns:dtd = "http://saxon.sf.net/dtd";
               xsl:exclude-result-prefixes="dtd">
               <dtd:entity name="test">'Some text'</dtd:entity>
           </dtd:doctype>
       </saxon:doctype>

<!-- using the entity reference -->
<saxon:entity-ref name="test" xsl:extension-element-prefixes="saxon"/>
