AW: [xsl] xhtml output formating problems / passing through pre defined static xhtml

[Dominic Krüger <dominic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all of you for your endurance with a newby like me!! I really
apriciate it.

I posted some links earlier on with all the source files except the "input
xml" file.

Here they are again =)

Xsl stylesheet :
http://www.zeitdesigner.de/xslt/test.xslt

xslt Output:
http://www.zeitdesigner.de/xslt/test.htm

xml for the input:
http://www.zeitdesigner.de/xslt/full_sigml.xml

the real thing:
http://www.zeitdesigner.de/xslt/hamburg.htm


<map:pipeline>
    <map:match pattern="test.html">
      <map:generate src="./content/sigml/full_sigml.xml"/>
      <map:transform src="test.xslt">
        <map:parameter name="contextPath" value="{request:contextPath}"/>
      </map:transform>
      <map:serialize type="xhtml"/>
    </map:match>
</map:pipeline>

What i have to achieve is to replace the text in the <p></p> tags in the
middle of the page, write out each paragraph node of the full_sigml.xml to a
xml file of its own and adopt the links in the <xml id=***********> tags at
the top of the page.

Does that sound so impossible???

Thanks dominic

(let's start the 'AW:' over again :)

I think you are going to need to post more source (XSL and XML) and what
is being output. It might also be helpful for you to take the incorrect
output and try to make it work to see where the problem is exactly.

One more guess (and not knowing the HTML output source): does it work
if, in your XSL, you use:

<br />

instead of:

<br/>

I have seen this problem in tableless layouts and I think the fix for us
was a BR with a style 'clear:both'

hth,
