Subject: RE: [xsl] how to close html tags : link, meta,...
I don't understand. I'm it states that all element's in the xhtml
dtd
that are not declared as empty should have a closing tag. Those
that
are declared as empty may or may not have a closing tag (in other
words
may or may not use the empty element syntax).
Nope. It says:
"Elements that are declared in the DTD as EMPTY can have an end tag or
can
use empty element shorthand (see Empty Elements)."
That is, "<foo></foo>" is allowed and "<foo/>" is allowed. Just
"<foo>" is
not, because that's not wellformed XML.
Sorry to go on but...
<div> *is not* declared as empty, so it must be <div></div>
<img> *is* declared as empty, therefore it can be <img/> or <img></img>
That is my reading of the spec, please someone tell me if I am wrong.
In which case I'd say the spec needs to be fixed.
Either div has required content, in which case both "<div/>" and
"<div></div>" would be non-valid.
If content is not required (which is the case), both notations MUST be
allowes, otherwise XHTML would not conform to the XML spec.
