First of all, thank you for all your answers. The "class trick" seems an easy way of doing it, of course, even if it is not very elegant. For those who are interested, the trick is adding a "dummy" class attribute, so there is a space after the element name : <br class="truc"/>.

name attributes, changing the doctype, etc)

Thank you. However, I didn't write my XSL sheet yet. I anticipated, for once... But the advices attached to your answer make a checklist for me :-)

Is it standard to 4xt, or do I have to integrate the code indicated by your URL ?

What XSLT processor can do this ? Is that the modified 4xt ? I'm interested, since it would make a clearer XML output.

I for one would be very interested in your experience of using
the e-book DTD.

I had very mixed reactions when I tried to use xslt to come from
e-book into another DTD.

Actually, I am using XSL to go from another corporate DTD to OEB. I guess I will make two stylesheet, one for creating the package, and one for the document :-)


Thanks all for your answer.
