Hi all,
I am using the following code to include document type and entity declaration in the resulting XML.
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">
<![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE XYZ PUBLIC "-//ABC//DTD XYZ//EN" "xmain.dtd" [
<!ENTITY par76965_0101.eps SYSTEM "media/par76965_0101.eps" NDATA EPSF>
<!ENTITY par76965_puzzle.eps SYSTEM "media/par76965_puzzle.eps" NDATA EPSF>
]>]]>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="text()|*|@*"/>
</xsl:template>

Though the problem is that the entity declaration (like <!ENTITY par76965_0101.eps SYSTEM "media/par76965_0101.eps" NDATA EPSF>) changes with the new document and we manually copy/paste them every time into the style sheet.
Is there any other smart way of doing it, I mean any XSLT function which automatically takes these values from XML input to output.

I would prefer to do that with stylesheet only instead of using other scripting languages.

Thanks for guidance in advance.

I think you mean disable-output-escaping="yes".

But other than that there is nothing to stop you splitting it into seperate <xsl:text> elements, with <xsl:value-of> bits inbetween.

e.g.

<xsl:text>Filename = </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="/image/@url"/><xsl:text>.</xsl:text>

Thanks Sam. Just diverting from what you are suggesting, I've just gone thru the documents and found dtd declaration can be done with

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="no" media-type="text/xml" encoding="UTF-8" doctype-system="xmain.dtd" doctype-public="-//XYZ//DTD main//EN"/>

which gives me desired output as
<!DOCTYPE main PUBLIC "-//XYZ//DTD main/EN" "xmain.dtd">
 but what about entity declarations below:
<!ENTITY par76965_0101.eps SYSTEM "media/par76965_0101.eps" NDATA EPSF>
<!ENTITY par76965_puzzle.eps SYSTEM "media/par76965_puzzle.eps" NDATA EPSF>
Can you throw some light on it. Secondly, could you please elaborate what do you mean by <xsl:text>Filename = </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="/image/@url"/><xsl:text>.</xsl:text>,
does that mean I need to change <xsl:text> every time for every xml document.

Below is the output I am looking for, where entity declaration varies:
<!DOCTYPE main PUBLIC "-//XYZ//DTD main/EN" "xmain.dtd" [
<!ENTITY par76965_0101.eps SYSTEM "media/par76965_0101.eps" NDATA EPSF>
<!ENTITY par76965_puzzle.eps SYSTEM "media/par76965_puzzle.eps" NDATA EPSF>

Thanks,
Pankaj

You said you wanted to change the entity declaration based on the input XML, so thats what I mentioned. You didn't provide any input xml for me to base an example on so I made some up in my head.

/- Sam Judson : Wrox Technical Editor -/

I understand what u meant of using "for-each" and "value-of"
But I do not have anything like

<media>
 <pic url="par76965_0101.eps"/>
 <pic url="par76965_puzzle.eps"/>
</media>

My xml input starts:

<!DOCTYPE XYZ PUBLIC "-//ABC//DTD XYZ//EN" "xmain.dtd" [
<!ENTITY par76965_0101.eps SYSTEM "media/par76965_0101.eps" NDATA EPSF>
<!ENTITY par76965_puzzle.eps SYSTEM "media/par76965_puzzle.eps" NDATA EPSF>]>

And I want to retain this info in transformed XML.
Apologies, if I am not able to make myself clear and having one of those days.

Ah, right.

In that case you are stuck, unless you fancy doing what Michael mentioned elsewhere and using the new unparsed-text() function in XSLT 2.0 or some other vendor specific extension for loading the input file in (as a separate action) as plain text.

/- Sam Judson : Wrox Technical Editor -/

Yeah I understand. I think I need look other way to get this done for me.

Thanks anyway.
