RE: [xsl] Closing and opeing tag in that order

[Mike Ferrando <mikeferrando@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chandra,
If you really need to have the tags next to each other. Turn off the
indent. <xsl:output indent="no"> And then you can add the HRt as you
wish by inserting <xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text> before or after each
element.

Actually there is nothing wrong with having the tags next to each
other as long as they are in the correct order. </tag1><tag1> I have
never had any parsing problems with tags that appear in this order.

But one thing you said about the DTD. Tag2 must IMMEDIATELY follow
Tag1? But that is not happening because you have text node directly
following Tag1. Maybe you mean to say that there can be only 1 Tag2
nested in each Tag1?

Sincerely,
Mike Ferrando
