No, it was the accidental use of HTML output instead of XML.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: [xsl] Strange template behavior
Are you sure you named both tags of the renamed element to "Link"? It
sounds like you inadvertently re-named the start tag to "Link" and
the end-tag to something else (either "SomethingElse" or "link" :-)
I.e.:
<xsl:template match="Xref" mode="link">
<Link>
<xsl:attribute name="dumb" select="'what'"></xsl:attribute>
</link>
</xsl:template>
I am using XSLT2 and the free version of Saxon 9. When I run this with
simple input data and a simple stylesheet, it works, but in my very
complex
stylesheet dealing with a very large input, it fails in the first instance
and succeeds in the second. I am baffled. Here is the story:
Below is a template. When it is called, it fails to terminate the element
in
the output XML and gives the error:
"Error on line 273 column 9 of 33Subjects.xml:
SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: The element type "Link" must be
terminated by the matching end-tag "</Link>". Transformation failed:
Run-time errors were reported"
But rename the element within this template and it works. Does the fact
that
the mode is called "link" have anything to do with its failure?
[I know I am not showing the data input and style sheet -- they are very,
very large, but I swear the element name change is the only alteration I
make to cause this.]
Mark
Failing scenario
Fails. Outputs: <Link dumb="what"> <!---No termination-->
<xsl:template match="Xref" mode="link">
<Link>
<xsl:attribute name="dumb" select="'what'"></xsl:attribute>
</Link>
</xsl:template>
Successful scenario
Has no problem. Outputs: <SomethingElse dumb="what"/> <!---Terminated-->
<xsl:template match="Xref" mode="link">
<SomethingElse>
<xsl:attribute name="dumb" select="'what'"></xsl:attribute>
</SomethingElse>
</xsl:template>
