The output has to be a document-node, and the declaration must be in a request-level main module. The doctype doesn't appear in cq - or in any nested eval context AFAICT.
This works for me: (: test.xqy :) declare option xdmp:output "doctype-public = -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"; declare option xdmp:output "doctype-system = http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";; document { <html/> } => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html/> You may have to "view source" to see the doctype. Safari, for example, hides it in its default XML tree display. You might also want to set the option xdmp:output "method = html". -- Mike On 16 Nov 2012, at 15:16 , Will Thompson <[email protected]> wrote: > I can't seem to make my XQY output a doctype using the options defined in the > spec: > http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-xquery-serialization/#XML_DOCTYPE > > xquery version "1.0-ml"; > declare option xdmp:output "doctype-public=-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"; > declare option xdmp:output > "doctype-system=http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";; > <html/> > => > <html/> > > Could something be suppressing the doctype?
