RE: [xsl] Saxon8 beginner questions

Firstly, to get this to run I had to change the encoding in both files -
they may have started life as utf-8, but they were not in UTF-8 by the time
they appeared in my email.

When you use the html output method, Saxon will insert a <meta> element as
part of the HTML <head> element. However, it won't do that if there isn't an
HTML <head> element. That's the case here, because your <head> element is
actually in the XHTML namespace, which the html output method doesn't
recognize. This also explains why the <br> element is being rendered the way
it is. You need to decide whether you are writing HTML or XHTML and then be
consistent.

Your call on current-date omitted the () so it was not recognized as a
function call (instead, Saxon looked for a child element called
current-date, and didn't find one).

The classpath is ignored by Java when you use the -jar option on the command
line. The message "Unable to access JAR file" means that you have mistyped
the path to the JAR file.
