The XML Prolog Value dialog box enables you to edit values for the XML prolog. The XML Prolog Type property specifies whether the prolog is provided as text or within a file generated by Reports Builder. The XML prolog should include an XML declaration but can also include comments, processing instructions (such as a stylesheet [XSL]), and a document type declaration (DTD).
XML Declaration: |
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?> |
Comments: |
<!-- this is how you
do comments in XML --> |
Processing instruction (PI) through client/server: |
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="emp.xsl" ?> |
Processing instruction (PI) through the Web: |
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="http://[hostname]/[virtual_path]/emp.xsl" ?> |
Document Type Declaration (DTD): |
<!DOCTYPE EMP_TABULAR
[ |
The following is an example of prolog text which contains (in order) an XML declaration, a comment, a processing instruction (PI), and a document type declaration (DTD):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- This is how you make comments in XML -->
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="emp.xsl" ?>
<!DOCTYPE EMP_TABULAR
[
<!ELEMENT EMP_TABULAR (EMP_ITEM)*>
<!ELEMENT EMP_ITEM (EMPNO)>
<!ELEMENT EMPNO (#PCDATA)>
