Inserting xml-stylesheet processing instruction not working

[csalsa]

I am using XSL/T and want to output a 'xml-stylesheet' processing instruction to an XML file. The test code below is not outputting the attributes correctly for the processing instruction but works for the document element.

Any ideas? Am I missing something?


XSL

Code: Select all

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

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">

		<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8" omit-xml-declaration="no"/>

		<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

		<xsl:template match="/">

			<xsl:processing-instruction name="xml-stylesheet">

				<xsl:attribute name="href">styles1.css</xsl:attribute>

				<xsl:attribute name="type">text/css</xsl:attribute>

			</xsl:processing-instruction>

			<table>

				<xsl:attribute name="href">styles2.css</xsl:attribute>

				<xsl:attribute name="type">text/css</xsl:attribute>

				<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>

			</table>

		</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

XSL/T Output

Code: Select all

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

<?xml-stylesheet styles1.css text/css?><table href="styles2.css" type="text/css"/>

I am using Oxygen 9.3 on Windows XP and Saxon-B 9.0.0.6 for the XSL/T processor.

Hi,

The processing instruction should be declared in the XSL like this:

Code: Select all

<xsl:processing-instruction name="xml-stylesheet">href="styles1.css" type="text/css"</xsl:processing-instruction>

See http://www.w3schools.com/XSL/el_process ... uction.asp

Many thanks for the pointer. I should have found it myself.
