As with Kelly’s MarkLogic example, you would set the doctype in eXist using the following in your XQuery ‘s prolog: declare option exist:serialize “method=xhtml media -type=text/html omit-xml-declaration=no indent=yes doctype-public=-// W3C // DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN doctype-system=http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”; This is documented on the XQuery wikibook at: http://en.wikibooks.org/ wiki /XQuery/eXist_Crib_sheet#output_XHTML_document Feel free to add other processors to the XQuery wikibook.

This seems like a valid approach for any XQuery processor, though it does seem like “ugly” XQuery.

the DOCTYPE declaration? How to deal with the default XHTML namespaces?
Michael (R), I am sorry, despite the perfectly understandable English, I don’t understand the logic. I read, and reread the sentence above, and despite the rewriting, the content still doesn’t makes sense to me
