[xsl] lost the <!Doctype declaration in the transform...

["Ben Skelton" <ben_skelton at habaneros dot com>]

I'm taking one xml file and using a stylesheet to change some of the nodes
around. I'm using this to transform the xml page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="front">
<front>
<doctype><xsl:value-of select="doctype" /></doctype>
<DocumentNum><xsl:value-of select="docno" /></DocumentNum>
<DocumentTitle><xsl:value-of select="doctitle" /></DocumentTitle>
<SectionNum></SectionNum>
</front>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The xml file is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE xxxxxxxx SYSTEM "../../../../resources/BCGSTAND.DTD" [

<!-- Begin Document Specific Declarations -->


<!-- End Document Specific Declarations -->

]>
<front status = "approved" writer = "unknown" subject = "Construction,Welding"
keywords = "Weld Inspection">
<doctype>OPERATING INSTRUCTION</doctype>
<docno>CON 300&ndash;2</docno>
<section>CONSTRUCTION</section>
<approvaldate>17 February 1997</approvaldate>
<category>Welding</category>
<doctitle>Inspection of Welds
</doctitle>
<subjectexpert>Unknown</subjectexpert>
<docowner email = ""</docowner>
<replaces>none</replaces>
</front>


My output looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?><front><doctype>ADMINISTRATIVE
INSTRUCTION</doctype><DocumentNum>ADM 100?2</DocumentNum><DocumentTitle>Photo ID
Cards
</DocumentTitle><SectionNum></SectionNum><SectionName>ADMINISTRATION</SectionName><CategoryNum></CategoryNum><CategoryName>General

Administrative Services</CategoryName><SubCatNum></SubCatNum></front>

I seem to have lost the <!Doctype declaration in the transform...

How would I pass that information through??


Any help would be most appreciated - thanks :)
