[xsl] Entities within my stylesheet.

---

---

Hi all!


   In several places I've seen people using entities within their
stylesheets. See example below:

XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data></test></data>

XSL:

<!DOCTYPE stylesheet [
<!ENTITY ntilde  "&#241;" ><!-- small n, tilde -->
]>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
	&ntilde;
</xsl:template>  

</xsl:stylesheet>


I've seen this many times but I've never managed to make it work.

I always get an error like:

ERROR: The name of the top most element must match the name of the DOCTYPE
declaration.

Source: '<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">'
Line: 6, Pos: 80


Does anyone know what to do in order to get the entities to work within the
stylesheet?

btw I'm using MSXML 4 SP1  (Could this be the problem?)

TIA,
Yago
