"xml version" procesing instruction and text serializer?

[Oskar Casquero]

I want to obtain a text file (not xml) from an XSLT transformation. The problem is that after doing the transformation and serializing the result with a text serializer, the <?xml version="1.0"?> processing instruction appears at the beginning of the text file, so I have to delete it manually. Do I have to modify text serializer or is there another way to delete the <?xml version="1.0"?> processing instruction?   Oskar
