Missing closing /link and /meta tags in output?

Post by **sderrick** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:25 pm

I am generating xhtml files, my xsl file has output defined as so:


<xsl:output method="xhtml" name="xhtml"

    doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" 

    doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" indent="no"/>

The main template has this html code with a meta tag and link tag, both with closing </tags>

Code: Select all


<html>

  <head>

   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;"> </meta>

   <title> <xsl:value-of select="$title"></xsl:value-of></title>

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="csps.css" type="text/css">  </link>

  </head>

The output is

Code: Select all


<html xmlns:num="http://csps/numbers">

   <head>

      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; >

      <title>The Title</title>

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="csps.css" type="text/css" >

   </head>

notice the missing closing meta and link tags are gone.

I've tried output types of xml, html and xhtml, nothing changes. Its killing me because I need to do post processing on the html and the saxon parser barfs out an error about the missing closing link tag.

Hello,

So how are you copying the HTML template to the output? What does the stylesheet(XSLT template) look like?

Adrian,

The html post processing script. At this point its just a character map. I will be adding a few other things later.

Here its..

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl"

    exclude-result-prefixes="xs xd"

    version="2.0">

    <xd:doc scope="stylesheet">

        <xd:desc>

    <xsl:output-character character="&#x201c;" string="&ldquo;"/> <!--  double opening(left) quote -->

    <xsl:output-character character="&#x201d;" string="&rdquo;"/> <!--  double closing(right) quote -->

  </xsl:character-map>



   <!-- IdentityTransform -->

   <xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()">

         <xsl:copy>

               <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />

                <xsl:message>"foo"</xsl:message>             

         </xsl:copy>

   </xsl:template>





</xsl:stylesheet>

I think this is what you were asking for?

Hi,

No, I was asking for the XHTML generation stylesheet. I understood that you have two steps: XHTML generation and HTML post-processing.

The HTML post processing script will fail if its input is not XML(XHTML) and in your case it's HTML(missing end tags).

But now I see where the problem is. In the XHTML generation stylehseet you are using a named output definition(<xsl:output method="xhtml" name="xhtml"). This is only used when you specify the format attribute for xsl:result-document.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#element-output

What you need is an unnamed output definition.

Code: Select all

<xsl:output method="xhtml"

    doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"

    doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" indent="no"/>

Adrian

That did it!

I am using xsl:result-document to split the result document into pieces. I call that function like this

<xsl:result-document href="{$filename}">
.....
</xsl:result-document>

and not pass in a named output. Any problems with that?

No problems, it's just that the named xsl:output is pointless and somewhat misleading if it's not referred from anywhere. It already gave you the false impression that it controlled the output.
I would recommend removing it if it's unused.

Adrian

I spoke too soon!

If I remove the name attribute from

Code: Select all

 <xsl:output name="csps-xhtml" method="xhtml"/>

like so

Code: Select all

 <xsl:output method="xhtml"/>

and call result-document without a format="csps-xhtml" attribute like so

Code: Select all

 <xsl:result-document href="{$filename}" >

the resulting documents are not well formed xhtml

If I name the output like so

Code: Select all

 <xsl:output name="csps-xhtml" method="xhtml"/>

and call result-document like so

Code: Select all

 <xsl:result-document href="{$filename}" format="csps-xhtml">

the resulting multiple documents are well formed but the generation of single documents(not using result-document) with this style sheet is now broken like the multiple document output was!

I tried this call

Code: Select all

 <xsl:result-document format="csps-xhtml"/>

in the non result-document generation template but I get this error

Severity: fatal
Description: Cannot write an implicit result document if an explicit result document has been written to the same URI: file:/home/scott/workspace/books_changes2/build/ebook/sh-tei.html

WHy does using the name attribute on the <output tag break things so?

Can I use result-document and coerce it to generate xhtml without using the format attribute?
