I'm creating an XML document using minidom - how do I ensure my resultant XML document contains a stylesheet reference like this:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="mystyle.xslt"?>
Thanks !

Use something like this:
from xml.dom import minidom
xml = """
<root>
<x>text</x>
</root>"""
dom = minidom.parseString(xml)
pi = dom.createProcessingInstruction('xml-stylesheet',
'type="text/xsl" href="mystyle.xslt"')
root = dom.firstChild
dom.insertBefore(pi, root)
print dom.toprettyxml()
=>
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="mystyle.xslt"?>
<root>
<x>
text
</x>
</root>
I am not familiar with minidom, but you must create a processing instruction node (PI) with name: "xml-stylesheet" and text: "type='text/xsl' href='mystyle.xslt'"
Read the documentation how a PI is created.
