Xquery - Output DocType

[jon]

Hi all,

I have an xquery file (.xql) that I use to generate an XML table via an xquery module (.xqm).
The module contains a function that generates a table similar to this:

Code: Select all

<Doctype>

<Table>

<Row>

<Entry>

</Entry>

</Row>

</Table>

</Doctype>

I retrieve this table in the .xql file.
Now, I would like to add a doctype on top of that table, to look like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE Doctype PUBLIC "my-doctype-public" "my-doctype.dtd">

<Doctype>

...

</Doctype>

Note that I use xquery 3.0. I found that I should be able to output the doctype by declaring an option on top of the .xql file (right below 'xquery version "3.0";') like this:

Code: Select all

declare namespace output = "http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization";

declare option output:method "xml";

declare option output:media-type "text/xml";

declare option output:omit-xml-declaration "no";

declare option output:indent "yes";

declare option output:doctype-public "my-doctype-public";

declare option output:doctype-system "my-doctype.dtd"; 

I tried this both in the .xql and .xqm files, without success.
Hard-coding the doctype in the .xqm doesn't work either.

Does any of you have an idea for this?

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Hi,

What XQuery engine are you using for this (eXist, Saxon XQuery) and with what version of Oxygen?

Hi Adrian,

I use eXist 2.1 for this application. Via the eXide dashboard, I just run the "Run" command and get the output in the "XML Output" console, which also is on the Dashboard.
I don't use oXygen here.
