Hello dear list members, it seems that xsl:output method="html" does not really output html but xml when the source document contains a namespace node.
Try the following: Source document: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="de"> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <p> Line <br /> Next Line </p> </body> </html> Transform: <xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; > <xsl:output method="html" /> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform> And take a look at the result. Expected: <br> Result: <br /> When the namespace declaration is removed from the source document, the result is as expected: Expected: <br> Result: <br> Is this a documented and expected behaviour, have I missed something or is this a bug? It's really annoying since I write XHTML Basic as source documents (which are validated using the xmlvalidate task of ant) and want to transform them to XHTML 1.1 and HTML 4.01.
