Vasu may have been using to "br" to illustrate that an element instance with no descendant elements may be expressed in its abbreviated form: "<br/> is a short form of <br></br>" But, be advised that thinking any element with no descendant elements can be expressed this way, becase that's not true ... especially in the case of the xhtml:br and possibly the html:{BR | Br | bR | br} element. Being able to express an element in the abbreviated manner is totally dependant on the intent of the given elements schema. In this case, xhtml:br or html:{BR | Br | bR | br} is an empty element, it cannot have any attributes or descendant entities as <br></br> does, which has one (empty) text node. So, with respect to xhtml or html, "br" cannot be of the form <br></br>, it must be (ignoring casing/namespace) <br />. Because, <br></br> will not validate against the xhtml schema ... it may be ok against the highly tolerant html schema--but, I'm not sure. -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Vasu Chakkera [mailto:vasucv@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 10:57 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] how to match <br/> tag The element you are referring to is br not br/ <br/> just tells you that it is an empty(<br>) element.. you must understand that <br/> is a short form of <br></br> so your code must read <xsl:template match="br"> Vasu >From: "ashu t" <aashut@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [xsl] how to match <br/> tag >Date: 27 Jun 2002 14:23:35 -0000 > >i am trying to convert html to wml using xslt >i have written style sheet for few tags but when i wrote >style sheet for <br/> it is giving error i have used ><xsl:template match="br/"> but it has given error then i tried ><xsl:template match="//br/"> but it is also giving error. >can any one suggest me what should be the code for that. > >_________________________________________________________ >There is always a better job for you at Monsterindia.com. >Go now http://monsterindia.com/rediffin/ > > >XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list _________________________________________________________________ Join the world's largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
