    This is probably an easy answer, but I am trying to set up the [[!GoogleSiteMap]] snippet on a pure XML page (the snippet generates its own header). I can’t get the page to render unless the page has the HTML doctype declared:

    quick sample >
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>XML Sitemap</title>
    </head>
    
    <body>
    
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
    <url>
        <loc>http://www.alternativemedicinedirect.com/</loc>
        <lastmod>2011-07-13</lastmod>
        <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
        <priority>1.0</priority>
    </url>
    


    I know I am overlooking something very simple here. I have tried ’no template’ and a ’blank template’, but the snippet doesn’t return anything without the html doctype... and quick help?

    UPDATE *********

    Set the Template to Empty, then in the Page settings tab, select XML from the content type. It was late :/

      Try ’SitemapFriend’ as an alternative to GoogleSiteMap. It’s more reliable, gives you more control and doesn’t surface in the sitemap pages you don’t want it to.
