Hi Eric, I presume you mean Chapter 12, HTML Customizations. I think the section you are referring to needs some clarification.
I'm not sure, but I don't think POST has anything to do with the problem. Most likely the input is not well-formed XML. In order for an XSLT processor to xsl:copy any content, that content must be well-formed XML, and typical HTML is not well-formed XML. If the content has HTML markup, then simply wrapping the content in an element does not make it well-formed. That only applies if the content is text such as Javascript. The third paragraph in this section mentions that any HTML markup must be well-formed markup: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/InsertExtHtml.html The xsl:output can still be method="html", and the processor will convert your well-formed XML back into plain HTML. If that still doesn't work, then post an example.

I have treated the HTML as malformed and done as suggested -- wrapped the html in proper xml tags <badcode> html </badcode> but still no luck ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Hagemann To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 25, 2009 5:41 PM Subject: [docbook-apps] html pass thru Hello, Seems like a simple thing that I should be able to find in help -- but to no avail. I am writing contect destined for web output and I want to place some html within the docbook xml and have it pass thru unaltered. I want the html to be "live" and thus CDATA will not work Is there a processing instruction for such a purpose ? Cheers Eric
