for example...in XSLT 2.0 (SAXON 8.4)
ex. XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<example>
<test>a</test>
</example>
ex. XSLT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" use-character-maps="test"/>
<xsl:template match="example">
<xsl:value-of select="test"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:character-map name="test">
<xsl:output-character character="a" string="<test>"/>
</xsl:character-map>
</xsl:stylesheet>
results in
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><test>
using the following stylesheet as an analogy;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="example">
<test>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
results in
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
which is of course well formed.
cant really tell from the spec if xsl:output method guarentee's well
formedness or perhaps xsl:character-map needs something more ?
