Ignoring DTD during Transformation

[JamieLester]

Hello,

I have a specialized DITA file that I want to run XSLT against. The problem is that this file has a doctype, but I don't have the DTDs.
To complicate matters, the file references other files with other doctypes that I want to pull in with the document() function in the XSLT.
What's more, the content is published by third-party, so I'm not able to modify it.

Any help or insight is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie

Hi Jamie,

I'm afraid this is not possible, you need access to the DTDs.
Or you can change the DOCTYPE declarations from all topics (using Oxygen's Find/Replace in Files tool for example) to the DOCTYPE declarations for base DITA topics, to see which extra elements were defined in the specialized DTDs.
