How can I handle multiple XML declarations in XML File

Hi ,

I have one XML file. In that XML file it consist of multiple XML declarations. While transforming that XML file into another format (like HTML ) I can't able to handle those multiple declartions in the XML file.

Pls see the example code below :

Code:

<root>
      <class>
               <name> Gopi </name>
                <Eid>455</Eid>
    <Addr>  Andhra Pradesh  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></Addr> 
       </class>
        <class>
               <name> Krishna </name>
                <Eid>456</Eid>
                <Addr>  Kerala  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></Addr>  </class>
</root>

In the above code XML Version Declaration is appeared inside the <Addr> element.

I hope you can understand whats the problem I was facing.
When I transforming the above XML file into HTML by using XSLT I can't able to handle XML declartions in the XML file.

Could you please assist me to resolve the above issue.

Thanks in Advance for ur valuable suggesions

XML has its strict syntax rules, what you have violates the rules so any XML parser will complain. You will need to fix the input to be able to parse it successfully as XML and use it as input to XSLT.

If there is more than one XML declaration, then it isn't an XML file.
