I have just tried my first effort at producing a web page in cocoon 2
by transforming xml with xslt.
My relevant sitemap entry looks like this:
<map:match pattern="shiva">
<map:generate src="src/shiva.xml"/>
<map:transform src="transforms/shiva2html.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
This actually works, but not 100% as I desired.
I use Opera as my browser, and I like to use Opera's built-in facility
to call the W3C's validation service, to check the validity of the
document I have produced.
I wasn't completely surprised when it failed to validate, but I was
surprised at the particular validation error I got: it was complaining
that the © entity wasn't valid.
When I viewed the source, I noticed that the first tag was the html
tag, so the W3C validator was unable to identify which level of HTML
it was supposed to be validating - this explains the validation error,
as I believe you need HTML 4 for such entities (?).
Since I had specified the following in my transform, I expected to get
a DOCTYPE statment:
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" standalone="no"
encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" />
The output was indeed xhtml, but no doctype (or xml declaration - I
probably will need to omit the latter anyway).
So why is there no <!DOCTYPE statement being omitted? Is this a
feature of Cocoon, or of Xalan?
