I want the output of empty elements in HTML to always have an end tag

<foo bar="zot"></foo>

I vaguely remember that there is an option for this, but i cannot find
it or remember where to look for it. Does anyone if it is possible and
how I can enforce it?

At first I thought

<xsl:output method="html"/>

would solve it. But it doesn't.


A few weeks ago Andrew Welch posted this solution on the list:

The general solution to this is to output a space on each occurance of this, such as using &#160;, preferrably wrapped in a test:


<xsl:if test="not(child::node())">&#160;</xsl:if>

If you use xslt 2.0 you can use the xhtml output method, which solves all of this.
