Hi Roel,
What the stylesheet gives me, with Saxon 6.5.2, from an input document
with an empty <document> element, is:
Right, this is what seems to be causing problems: the processor. I was
using xsltproc, and it didn't give me the xmlns part in the html tag.
Saxon does. Which one is right? Can they both be right? Should I notify
anyone of a bug?
Saxon is right (it usually is). You should notify Daniel Veillard of
the bug in xsltproc.
Anyway, another difference between Saxon & xsltproc now shows up: if
I put inside the <head></head> tags of my xsl sheet
<![CDATA[ <?import namespace="mml" implementation="#MathPlayer" ?> ]]>
and I process it with xsltproc, I get
<?import namespace="mml" implementation="#MathPlayer" ?>
in my output sheet, as I expected (maybe wrong so).
When I then process the same file with saxon, I get
<?import namespace="mml" implementation="#MathPlayer" ?>
which is not what I want :(
Which processor is right? What is the right way to do this?
Again, Saxon is right. Here, you want to create a processing
instruction; to do that, you should use the
<xsl:processing-instruction> instruction as follows:
<xsl:processing-instruction name="import">
<xsl:text>namespace="mml" implementation="#MathPlayer"</xsl:text>
</xsl:processing-instruction>
The same goes for creating comments: use the <xsl:comment> instruction
rather than including the comment literally, or wrapped in a CDATA
section, within your styelsheet:
<xsl:comment>This is a comment</xsl:comment>
Cheers,
Jeni
