Martin Honnen Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Well the problem is that XSLT 1.0 dates from 1999 and XSLT 2.0 from 2007 while HTML5 is a moving target. I know that Saxon 9.3 does output <!DOCTYPE HTML> for <xsl:output method="html" version="5.0"/> but I don't think other XSLT processors do that.Putting the DOCTYPE node into a template in the stylesheet, as you have tried, is not allowed by the XML syntax of XSLT stylesheets.What you could try is <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html>]></xsl:text> ...</xsl:template> at least as long as the XSLT result is serialized (which for instance the XSLT processor built into Mozilla browsers does not do).

boen_robot Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 You're also missing an opening <html> tag BTW. Remove that and the DTD, and the error will be gone.The generated document will not be a "valid" HTML5 document (well... not per the validator), but if XSLT is executing in the browser, that shouldn't really be a concern.
