The following elements don't 'inherit' the style, they are simply put
'inside' the <div/> element
Sure, the trailing slash <../> isn't recognised so the minimised element
is treated as an opening one (effectively putting the following-sibling
'inside' as you say)
Another problem comes with expressions - this will work:
<div></div>
<div
style="position:relative;top:expression(-previousSibling.scrollHeight)">
but this causes the error 'line 0: object expected'
<div/>
<div
style="position:relative;top:expression(-previousSibling.scrollHeight)">
...really nasty in a large file.
Ultimately all of this pain could lifted by a few talented processor
writers ;)
Or of course, if anyone could tell me how to modify my own copy of
saxon/xalan to prevent minimisation, that would be equally great.

Hi.
The following elements don't 'inherit' the style, they are simply put
'inside' the <div/> element
So, to a web browser
<div style="font-weight:bold"/>
<div>foo</div>
is the same as
<div style="font-weight:bold">
<div>foo</div>
</div>

Subject: [xsl] tag minimisation
When elements like <div></div> get minimised by the processor
to <div/>
it's *really* frustrating.
I cannot stress how annoying it is to find that because you have an
element in your data that is empty, you get a minimised ouput element
where all following elements 'inherit' the style...
For example:
<div style="font-weight:bold"/>
<div>foo</div>
will give you a bold 'foo'.
I appreciate that html/css is at fault, but surely its easy to add a
minimisation='no' extension until browsers catch up...? That or
continue the advice of 'add a space to the end of the element
to prevent
it getting minimised'...
At the moment I can see no real benefit of enforcing minimisation.
cheers
