transforming XML with an internally defined DTD

["McNerney, Lindsey" <li...@excelergy.com>]

If you have an XML instance with an internally defined DTD, how does this
need to be referenced in the style sheet?  I've tried applying a stylesheet
to such an XML instance and Xalan throws an exception stating it was
expecting CDATA.

Thank you.

Xalan nevers sees any part of DTD -- that's processed by the Xerces parser
before the transformation begins.  So, you probably have an error in your
DTD or you've enabled validation, and your document is not valid according
to the DTD.  Look at the line and column number of error message to see
what the parser thinks the problem is.

If you can reproduce this with a small input document and stylesheet, you
can post them to the list and someone will likely take a look at it.
