Some sample templates for use with LexEv

If your XML has been parsed using LexEv, here are some sample templates for handling the LexEv markup.

To output an entity reference:

<xsl:template match="lexev:entity">
 <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="concat('&amp;', @name, ';')"/>   
</xsl:template>

To process a CDATA section as markup:

<xsl:template match="lexev:cdata">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>   
</xsl:template>

To output a DOCTYPE from the processing instructions:

In XSLT 1.0 the doctype-public and doctype-system attributes on xsl:output are static and need to be known at compile time, which means I'm afraid you have to do this:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"
 select="concat('&lt;!DOCTYPE ', name(/*), '&#xa;  PUBLIC &quot;',
  processing-instruction('doctype-public'), '&quot; &quot;',
  processing-instruction('doctype-system'), '&quot;&gt;')"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

In XSLT 2.0 you can use xsl:result-document where the doctype-public and doctype-system are AVTs which mean their values can be determined at runtime:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:result-document
 doctype-public="{processing-instruction('doctype-public')}"
 doctype-system="{processing-instruction('doctype-system')}">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>
