Re: [docbook-apps] XSL Stylesheet in XHTML
Thanks Bob !

 

That worked great.

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:

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="' 
    href="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml%22%3E">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
