Hi list,

I'm writing XML export for datasets using the XMLWrite and DOM units (as per documentation at http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/XML_Tutorial) I've got this snippet:
FOutputDoc := TXMLDocument.Create;

How do I change the first line of the generated XML output from <?xml version="1.0">
to
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

I tried adding an attribute like this:
TDOMElement(FOutputDoc.DocumentElement).SetAttribute(

      'standalone', UTF8Decode('yes'));

but that gave an access violation: DocumentElement property is read-only...

Thanks,
Reinier

I don't think that currenly there is a way to set this attribute ?

Unless Sergei Gorelkin knows a way, we'll have to adapt the fpdoc package.

In each case, the 'standalone' attribute is not valid XML according to:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-S

So I don't think you should bother adding that. Probably some M$ specific addition.

Michael.

Thanks Michael,

Had a look at the specification link you sent, I don't get it (that part deals with valid spaces in nodes?).
I did see this:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-SDDecl
Standalone Document Declaration
....
An example XML declaration with a standalone document declaration:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?>

Anyway, I'll leave it be and try if it imports without that addition. If it doesn't, I'll get back on the list & bug tracker.
