[MarkLogic Dev General] storing a html 'as it is' in xml
Hi All, Im trying to store a html with empty tags say html span class=someclass/span span class=someclass/span span class=someclass/span span class=someclassSome text/span /html After storing in marklogic I get html span class=someclass/ span class=someclass/ span class=someclass/ span class=someclassSome text/span /html It is also stripping the spaces and line breaks And this is causing issues while rendering as html in a few browsers Is there a way I can store it as it is?? I've tried declare boundary-space preserve; declare option xdmp:output indent=no; but still no luck OTHER THAN CDATA/ Binary is there any other way to do this? Any help is appreciated Thanks in advance! Raghu ___ General mailing list General@developer.marklogic.com http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general

Only if you store it as a binary or plain text document, in which case you will not be able to do path expressions over it. We don't store the text of documents, we store an efficient representation of the data model.

Any help is appreciated Thanks in advance! Raghu I would suggest setting the output method to either HTML or XHTML, so that the serialization is appropriate for your use: declare option xdmp:output method=html; //Mary ___ General mailing list General@developer.marklogic.com http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general

Raghu, MarkLogic does not store the actual characters in the markup - it stores an optimized version of the document and serializes it back out per the XML spec. However, MarkLogic knows about the XHTML schema, which prohibits some self-closing tags like span/. If you put your content in the right namespace it should serialize in a way browsers accept. Try this query in queryConsole to see the difference between the XHTML namespace and xml that looks enough like XHTML to be rendered but is not actually xhtml: div xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;/div , div xmlns=http://foo;/div In my version (6.0-2) the former serialized with an explicit close tag but the latter serializes as a self-closing tag.
