xsltproc pre appending <?xml version="1.0"?>

Question

All of my output has <?xml version="1.0"?> in front of my intended output. How do I get rid of this? I have looked at different flags but I can't find anything relating to this.

Some extra details:

• Using fedora 8
• [a@...]$ xsltproc -V
• Using libxml 20702, libxslt 10120 and libexslt 813
• xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20702, libxslt 10120 and libexslt 813
• libxslt 10120 was compiled against libxml 20702
• libexslt 813 was compiled against libxml 20702

Answer 1

There is an attribute on xslt:output called "omit-xml-declaration"

For example:

<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

That should remove it.

Answer 2

IIRC, it's omit-xml-declaration="yes" in <xsl:output />.
