No DOCTYPE in HTML output of Docbook document
Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2005 4:59 pm
When I transform a Docbook document to HTML the resulting file contains no DOCTYPE information. How do I set up the transformation to generate that line?
You have two solutions:
- use the DocBook stylesheet for XHTML output which generates a DOCTYPE declaration for XHTML 1.0 Transitional;
- create a simple customization layer for generating the desired DOCTYPE declaration. For example the following customization layer
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="file:/C:/Program Files/Oxygen 6.2/frameworks/docbook/xsl/html/docbook.xsl"/>
<xsl:output doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>Regards,
