Hallo!
We have a general problem with publishing html with Cocoon. The core of
the problem is that a html page can be rendered differently with
different layouts of the otherwise identical html source code.
For example:
<tr>
<td colspan="5" bgcolor="#ffffff"><img height="5" width="1"
src="b.gif"></td>
</tr>
draws a 5 pix high line across the table
however
<tr>
<td colspan="5" bgcolor="#ffffff">
<img height="5" width="1" src="b.gif">
</td>
</tr>
draws a line which has the height single line of text, because of
the line break.
I have noticed that at some points the html serializer does introduce
the extra line-feed at others not. Looking thru our stylessheet I have
not been able to figure out what might cause this behavior.
We have already tried a serializer which does not include linebreaks at
all, all the html source appears on a single line. But that might cause
problems at other points of the layout too and the html source output is
unreadable.
We get html pages from a design company and translate them to XSL and
XSP to run them on Cocoon. I would guess that this kind of workflow must
be rather common. So the problem must have turned up before.
Is there any general solution for this problem? How are we supposed to
deal with sophisticated input from html designers?
Many thanks,
Hans
