Luke,

Thanks Martin,

The fix worked perfectly.

That's cool, but puzzling, since your syntax is unorthodox and shouldn't work in a conformant XML parser. It could be you are getting your XSLT to parse now, but how those external DTDs are being used would be a mystery.

Here you have declared a DTD as an internal subset (the bracketed structure within your DOCTYPE declaration), which in turn declares two entities. But those entities are neither general nor parameter entities. Indeed they're not entities at all, since they don't have names, just system identifiers for files.

If you mean to include two DTDs as modules of the DTD in your internal subset, you need parameter entities, plus a parser that will support them.

What's more puzzling is why you want to do this. If you have global variable declarations in your XSL which you wish to factor out of the main stylesheet, xsl:include is easy enough without getting you into the intricacies of entity declaration and use. Is there any reason you can't simply use xsl:include?

Cheers,
Wendell
