No, it was the accidental use of HTML output instead of XML. Thanks.
Are you sure you named both tags of the renamed element to "Link"? It sounds like you inadvertently re-named the start tag to "Link" and the end-tag to something else (either "SomethingElse" or "link" :-)
<xsl:template match="Xref" mode="link"> <Link> <xsl:attribute name="dumb" select="'what'"></xsl:attribute> </link> </xsl:template>
I am using XSLT2 and the free version of Saxon 9. When I run this with
simple input data and a simple stylesheet, it works, but in my very complex
stylesheet dealing with a very large input, it fails in the first instance
and succeeds in the second. I am baffled. Here is the story:
Below is a template. When it is called, it fails to terminate the element in
the output XML and gives the error:
"Error on line 273 column 9 of 33Subjects.xml: SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: The element type "Link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</Link>". Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported"
But rename the element within this template and it works. Does the fact that
the mode is called "link" have anything to do with its failure?
[I know I am not showing the data input and style sheet -- they are very, very large, but I swear the element name change is the only alteration I make to cause this.]

Failing scenario Fails. Outputs: <Link dumb="what"> <!---No termination-->
<xsl:template match="Xref" mode="link"> <Link> <xsl:attribute name="dumb" select="'what'"></xsl:attribute> </Link> </xsl:template>
Successful scenario Has no problem. Outputs: <SomethingElse dumb="what"/> <!---Terminated-->
<xsl:template match="Xref" mode="link"> <SomethingElse> <xsl:attribute name="dumb" select="'what'"></xsl:attribute> </SomethingElse> </xsl:template>
