Most likely you are chunking and running into the issue of import
precedence. The chunking templates use xsl:import, and you are introducing
another layer of import precedence and it isn't working right.
But there is a relatively new hook for doing what you want. The
user.preroot placeholder template is executed before <html> and could be
used for your purposes. Search for 'user.preroot' in:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HtmlHead.html
Add something like this to your customization:
<xsl:template name="user.preroot">
<xsl:processing-instruction
name="xml-stylesheet">
<xsl:text>type="text/xsl" href="mathml.xsl"</xsl:text>
</xsl:processing-instruction>
</xsl:template>

Subject: [docbook-apps] XSL Stylesheet in
XHTML
Hello all,
I am trying to add an XSL stylesheet to the top of my XHTML output - like
so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="no"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="mathml.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html
xmlns="'>http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
. . . .
I have looked through the archives and found the same issue expressed a
few years ago. The answer was to add a template to the customization layer
that inserted the line.
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:processing-instruction
name="xml-stylesheet">
<xsl:text>type="text/xsl"
href="mathml.xsl"</xsl:text>
</xsl:processing-instruction>
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</xsl:template>
Looked simple enough, so I added it to my customization layer. However,
it ran as usual but the first two lines showed up on the console and the
output file did not include the XSL stylesheet line.
I usually use XSLTPROC which had the console output anomaly but I also
ran it with Saxon 6.5.5 which had similar problems (but did not
output the lines to the console).
This is a bit puzzling. Did I do it incorrectly or is there another way
to do that?
Thanks
