XSLT transforming BR tag into <br></br>

[sderrick]

In my xsl script I specify the output in a certain template as
<br/>

My output must be well formed xhtml, I've tried xhtml and xml as the output method

both output <br></br> which most browsers interpret as two break tags.

Can I get the saxon PE parser to emit <br/> instead of <br></br> ?

I can't use html as the output method, besaue it emits malformed xhtml.
here is my current <output.... element

Code: Select all

   <xsl:output name="csps-xhtml" method="xhtml"

        doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" 

        doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 

        indent="no"

        encoding="us-ascii"

        saxon:character-representation="entity:hex"/>

thanks,

Scott

Hello,

If you want even better browser compatibility you should use:
<br /> (space before slash)
