XSL and DTD

A quick code snippet to include the right XHTML DTD in your XSL generated output. This took me a bit of reseach to find out:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">]]>
</xsl:text>

Include this into you template and switch the output method to “xsl” and you should be fine.

this is simpler:

<xsl:output
method="xml"
encoding="utf-8"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"
indent="no"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" />

Thanks a lot Anup, it definitely is … but even more important: it's way cleaner!

Another tidbit I found today was: exclude-result-prefixes="media" to exclude unwanted namespace declarations from the output. Handy…
