RE: [xsl] Can one <xsl:choose> <xsl:output>?

I'm not sure this can be done, but you could try by using Choose to set a
variable, as I have shown below.

I think the <xsl:output> would have to be before any templates are defined
so I think you would be best to try and find some other solution completely.

Using Choose to set a variable:

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="response[@TYPE='Table']">
    <xsl:variable name="dtdname" select="TableData.dtd" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:variable name="dtdname" select="ChartData.dtd" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
   <xsl:output doctype-system="{$dtdname}" />

Subject: [xsl] Can one <xsl:choose> <xsl:output>?

The output of the transformation could be directed to a  Chart, or
to a Table, depending on the TYPE attribute.

In the xsl, I want to do something like:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="response/@TYPE='Table'">
  <xsl:output doctype-system="TableData.dtd"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:output doctype-system="ChartData.dtd"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

I get an error saying the tag <xsl:output> is not allowed in this location.
