I mean <div/> where <div></div> has been "minimized" to the empty
syntax... I thought it was the right terminology?
Yes, that is end-tag minimization. There are many aspects of markup
minimization and I didn't know which one you were after. But I
wasn't sure you were even talking about markup minimization since
that is typically irrelevant to the browser, thinking perhaps you
might be talking about avoiding the minimizing of table borders.
Why not just <xsl:comment/> to inject "<!---->"?
<div><xsl:comment/></div>
That is character set independent.
I use that in an application where I have optional content and I'm
decorating that content with colour ... there is a bug in IE that the
formatting properties of a "<div/>" bleed to the end of the page,
whereas they don't if I have "<div></div>" so I use:
<div colour,etc>
<xsl:value-of select="..."/>
<xsl:comment/>
</div>
This guarantees the production of the end tag.
Good point... the "target browser" are XHTML based mobile phones...
but I would expect that if the browser can display XHTML then it must
support unicode?
I couldn't say ... because XHTML still has a character set
declaration in META elements, a subset of Unicode might still be
specified by a page or perhaps assumed by a user agent.
I hope this helps.
