Therefore, since you didn't have an <xsl:output/> instruction,
that means
that you must have had either "html" or "HTML" as the element type
of your
document element of your result tree.
Therefore ... your result is probably HTML which doesn't need an
end tag
for <link> or <img>. If your output isn't HTML then using any
other
document element in the result would have given you your desired
end tags
without needing <xsl:output/>.
So I'm curious why you do need end tags for elements of these two
element
types in a result that begins with the "html" document element.
You're exactly right. I am using html as my output. I want closed tags
because I'm trying to be compliant to the emerging standards by using xhtml. I
notice now that I forgot my xmlns which might have something to do with the
problem.
Would anyone know how I can specify a DTD for my output using XSL? That was
one thing I couldn't figure out.
