Error when using entity in XSLT

[?yvind Bollingmo]

If I insert

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [<!ENTITY nbsp " ">]>

in my XSLT file I get an error message:

msxml3.dll (0x80004005)
The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may
be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document

anyone know how to fix this?

I use

,----- [ ]
| <!DOCTYPE stylesheet [<!ENTITY nbsp "&amp;nbsp;">]>
`-----

and that works OK.

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [<!ENTITY nbsp " ">]>

Is the document element called xsl:stylesheet? Or did you use some
other prefix?

msxml3.dll (0x80004005)

Does it work with other stylesheet processors?

Can you show us a little bit more of the stylesheet?
I doubt that the problem is actually located in the
line you show: in isolation, that line has no problems.
