Using a processing instruction to indicate customization URL

    Hi,



    I am new to DocBook and XSLT. I am using DocBook with DocBook XSL 1.69.1.



    I want to use a processing instruction in my DocBook XML to indicate the
    location of my customization.xsl file. I was hoping it would look something
    like:





    <book>

    .

    .

    .

    </book>



    I would then write a template to capture the value such as:



    <xsl:template match="processing-instruction('MyInstruction')">
    "do something here"
    </xsl:template>



    However, I am unable to capture "MyInstruction" at all. It does work if I
    put the processing instruction in the "<chapter>" element, but this would be
    inappropriate.



    Can someone tell me the proper way to handle this?
