XSLT and DocType declaration

[Alan Houser]

Wim,

The XSLT processor reads the DTD and creates an internal representation 
of the document tree, including entity references. You should be able to 
access these entities via the XSLT unparsed-entity-uri() function. For 
example, the following fragment should populate an XSLT variable with 
the pathname to the original graphic --

<xsl:variable name="target" 
select="unparsed-entity-uri(ImportedGraphic1)" />

I haven't tested this, but you may need to convert these entity 
references to attribute values  (e.g. <graphic href="{$target}" /> ) in 
your import XSLT transform.

It is Very Annoying that XSLT/XPath does not provide a handle to the 
original DocType declaration, but this is an XSLT issue, not a 
FrameMaker issue.
