Brian Minchau commented on XALANJ-2120: --------------------------------------- Dave, the W3C has made its ruling on this issue, and we are consistent with that decision, please close this issue (or ..?). Thanks. > HTML serialization of empty/unclosed tags should not be affected by content > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XALANJ-2120 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2120 > Project: XalanJ2 > Type: Bug > Components: Serialization > Versions: Latest Development Code > Reporter: David Marston > Assignee: Joanne Tong > > We don't (yet) have a test case, but I observed that when the source document > has: > <a><BR>text INSIDE a br</BR></a> > then an <xsl:copy-of select="a"/> should produce: > <a><BR>text INSIDE a br</a> > but XalanJ drops the <BR> entirely, at least in the copy-of case. Suggested > rules of thumb: > 1. Self-closing <BR/> becomes <BR>, which we already do > 2. Starting <BR> becomes <BR> > 3. Ending </BR> becomes nothing > and of course, likewise for the other tags listed in part 16.2 of the XSLT > 1.0 spec. Notice that rules 2 and 3 work whether or not there is content > between the <BR> and </BR>. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
