Subject: RE: [xsl] Returning HTML tags from a function not working From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 23:19:05 -0000 |
You've specified the result of the function as xs:string. This means that any elements in the result get atomized, and when you atomize an empty <br/> element you get nothing (well, you get an empty string, which amounts to the same thing...). Declare the result as node()* and all should be well. My own style would be to use a template for this rather than a function. It's not mandatory, but I think people expect when they see a call-template that nodes will be constructed, and they don't expect that when the see a function call.
