XHTML empty tags reformatted

[gwolfgang]

Oxygen 9.1, build 2007122116

When I open an XHTML document containing empty tags (for use in background graphics ), e.g. <div class="background-roundcorner"></div>, then edit in author mode, and when finished go back to text mode, the empty tags have been automatically removed and changed into one-tag formulations, with opening and closing in the same tag (OK for some XHTML tags like <br />, but not for <div>). The empty tags themselves are not edited in author mode, only the normal text content paragraphs.

Before author -mode editing:

Code: Select all

<div class="background-roundcorner"></div>

After autor editing:

Code: Select all

<div class="background-roundcorner" />

In XHTML this will make the layout break in the browser. I have tried to find out how to turn off the automatic reformulation of the tags, but did not find it.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

The pretty-print options are applied when transforming the Author document to the text form of Text page when you switch from Author page to Text page. You have to select the option Expand empty elements available in Preferences -> Editor / Format / XML.
