OT: RE: [xsl] DTD type that allows XHTML?

[Lee Goddard <home at leegoddard dot com>]

In your DTD you will need to define an entity to represent
the external DTD, and then use the entity.  For XHTML this
looks like the below.

<!-- W3C XHML Entities: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#mods -->

<!-- Either:
<!ENTITY % HTMLspecial  PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Special for XHTML//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-special.ent"; "xhtml-special.ent">
<!ENTITY % HTMLsymbol   PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Symbols for XHTML//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent"; "xhtml-symbol.ent">
<!ENTITY % HTMLlat1     PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent"; "xhtml-lat1.ent">

or: -->

<!ENTITY % HTMLspecial  PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Special for XHTML//EN" 
"xhtml-special.ent">
<!ENTITY % HTMLsymbol   PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Symbols for XHTML//EN" 
"xhtml-symbol.ent">
<!ENTITY % HTMLlat1     PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN" 
"xhtml-lat1.ent">

%HTMLspecial;
%HTMLsymbol;
%HTMLlat1;
