Hi, My first question relates to oXygen's output when transforming from XML to HTML. I have a stylesheet that starts: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title>My Title</title> When I do the transformation, I get this output (start): <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>My Title</title> My question is, what is that meta tag? Not only does it appear to have been inserted without my say-so, but it's also invalid since it's not closed. The second question concerns the insertion of a DTD at the top of the page. My Google-foo appears to have deserted me to the extent that I can't see any way of performing a transformation that puts a DTD at the top of the HTML page. Unsurprisingly, I want to have this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> ... as the first line in the result document. Apologies if these are silly questions, but I just haven't been able to find any answers. Thanks in advance Peter

The XSL processor puts it in. It is not invalid HTML since that was your output method (which I think is also the default if you did not specify an output method and your root element name is 'html'). If you want XHTML and you must use XSL version 1, you need to use the output method xml. If you can use an XSL version 2 processor, you can use the output method xhtml which give you other benefits when outputting xhtml (no need to hack things like script, textarea, etc)
The second question concerns the insertion of a DTD at the top of the page. My Google-foo appears to have deserted me to the extent that I can't see any way of performing a transformation that puts a DTD at the top of the HTML page. Unsurprisingly, I want to have this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
This is also on the xsl:output: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#output Specifically the attributes: doctype-public = string doctype-system = string but, again with XSL 1.0, you need to output xml, not html. BTW, these are general XSL questions and should be asked on mulberry's xsl list. best, -Rob

Apologies if these are silly questions, but I just haven't been able to find any answers.
Thanks in advance
