Hi, I have experienced something similar.
I had <tag> <xsl:choose> ..... </xsl:choose> </tag> In the situations where no output was generated between <tag> and </tag> then Xalan would suppress writing </tag> to the result tree. I fixed those specific situations by adding: <xsl:text> </xsl:text> before just before </tag> Best regards Christoffer Bruun Brecht Yperman wrote:
Hi, We have an externally generated XSLT which we use for a transformation using Xalan. The result however is not as expected. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions"; xmlns:link="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/linkbase"; xmlns:xbrldi="http://xbrl.org/2006/xbrldi"; xmlns:xbrli="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance"; xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; exclude-result-prefixes="fn link xbrldi xbrli xdt xlink xs xsi"> <xsl:output version="4.0" method="html" indent="no" encoding="UTF-8" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"/> <xsl:param name="SV_OutputFormat" select="'HTML'"/> <xsl:variable name="XML" select="/"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body style="margin-left=0.6in; margin-right=0.6in; margin-top=0.79in; margin-bottom=0.79in"> <img> <xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:text>file:///</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> </img> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> This results in the following output: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> <html xmlns:altova="http://www.altova.com";><body style="margin-left=0.6in; margin-right=0.6in; margin-top=0.79in; margin-bottom=0.79in"><img src="file:///"></body></html> As you can see the <img/> tag is not well formed, and we'd like to have XHTML. The result is OK when we use <xsl:output method="xml" />, but we don't have control over the stylesheet. I drilled it down to line 1011 of ./trunk/src/org/apache/xml/serializer/ToHTMLStream.java What's the reason for this not to be: writer.write('/>'); ? Thanks, Brecht
