Hi all, I would like to use a variable in my xsl:output to store a part of DTD URL. for example: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:variable name="dtd" select="'http://hostname:8000/uri'"/> <xsl:output doctype-system='{$dtd}/filename1.dtd'/> <xsl:template match="/"> <MyXml dtd="{$dtd}"> <xsl:value-of select="$dtd"/> </MyXml> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> transforms into: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE MyXml SYSTEM "{$dtd}dtdname1.dtd"> <MyXml dtd="http://hostname:8000/uri/";>http://hostname:8000/uri/</MyXml> Is there a workaround for this problem? A while ago somebody suggested to use Xalan's "evaluate" extension function for this purpose - is this feasible? vlad (please CC to my address - i'm not subscribed to the list)
