Hi folks.
I'm trying to get my act done with Cocoon (great stuff btw.) and have
stumbled about a problem, which might point to a problem with Xalan,
since it worked with Saxon.
It appears to me, as if xsl:copy-of behaves differently, when
namespaces are involved. I've searched the archives, but it appears
this have not yet been seen.
I started out with this simple xhtml file (just as an demo example):
====================
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>Link Sammlung</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" link="#008080" alink="#0077FF"
vlink="#AA00BB">
<h1>Link Sammlung</h1>
<p>
<img alt="" border="0" height="11"
src="/images/s.gif"
width="1" />
<br/>
</p>
<dl>
<!-- one of (dd dt) -->
<dd>allgemein</dd>
<dt></dt>
</dl>
</body>
</html>
====================
This is integrated into the output (after beeing aggregated in the
sitemap) with this xsl snipped:
====================
<div style="margin-left: 11px">
<xsl:copy-of select="page/html:html/html:body/node()"/>
</div>
====================
and the resulting fragment looks like this:
====================
<div style="margin-left: 11px">
<h1 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>Link Sammlung</h1>
<p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<img alt="" border="0" height="11" src="/images/s.gif"
width="1"/>
<br clear="none"/>
</p>
<dl xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<dd>allgemein</dd>
<dt/>
</dl>
</div>
====================
Now, if I remove the DOCTYPE and the namespace declaration from the
html in the input file and integrate it into the output with this
====================
<div style="margin-left: 11px">
<xsl:copy-of select="page/html/body/node()"/>
</div>
====================
my resulting output looks like this, which is much more html-ish:
====================
<div style="margin-left: 11px">
<h1>Link Sammlung</h1>
<p>
<img alt="" border="0" height="11" src="/images/s.gif" width="1">
<br>
</p>
<dl>
<dd>allgemein</dd>
<dt></dt>
</dl>
</div>
====================
So it appears, that xsl:copy-of produces xml in the output, when
namespaces are involved and HTML otherwise. I tried xsl:strip-space
without effect.
This doesn't seen like much of a problem, however with a more complex
page, when a couple of pictures are integrated into a larger picture
with the help of a table, this leeds to additional white space in the
output, which in turn means, that the subpictures are not properly
aligned.
I'm using this sitemap entry:
<map:match pattern="links/index">
<map:aggregate element="page">
<map:part src="{0}.xml"/>
<map:part element="sidebar" src="links/sidebar.xml"/>
</map:aggregate>
<map:transform src="stylesheets/links/main.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
I then dropped saxon into cocoon instead of xalan (after a small
source change in cocoon to force saxon to use xerces a parser)
everything worked as I would have expected.
Before I go to the xalan list, I like to have an opinion from fellow
cocoon users.
