[oXygen-user] switch off: auto self-standing tag function

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello Tak,

The XSLT processor generates some HTML tags like SCRIPT and BR as 
auto-closing tag (<SCRIPT scr="..." ... />) or as open tag + close tag 
(<SCRIPT scr="..." ... > </SCRIPT>) depending on the output method of 
the transformation. For the HTML output method it generates open tag + 
close tag so that the tags are accepted by Web browsers. But the default 
method is XML which means auto-closing tag. Please add the following 
instruction at the beginning of your XSLT stylesheet:

   <xsl:output method="html"/>


Regards,
Sorin
