Hi!

I'm trying to include the
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
and
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" >
into my .xsl file for generating HTML-documents following the W3C guidlines.

I've tried to just putting the doctype and meta into the .xsl file like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >

<xsl:output method="html" />
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
		        "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
		<html>
			<head>
				<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" >
				<title>Test</title>
				<style>
					body,td,th {font-family:Tahoma,Arial; font-size:7pt;}
				</style>
			</head> ...
and also through the "xsl:value-of select", like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >

<xsl:output method="html" />
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:value-of select="/NewDataSet/TestTable/HTMLDoctype" />
		<html>
			<head>
				<xsl:value-of select="/NewDataSet/TestTable/metaCharset" />
				<title>Test</title>
				<style>
					body,td,th {font-family:Tahoma,Arial; font-size:7pt;}
				</style>
			</head> ...
both resulting in the error (from VS .NET 2003) :
A first chance exception of type 'System.Xml.XmlException' occurred in system.xml.dll

Additional information: System error.
I have no problems generating HTML-documents not containing the doctype and meta, but that is not an option in this case.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
