Re: [docbook-apps] html pass thru

Hi Eric,

I presume you mean Chapter 12, HTML Customizations.  I think the section you are referring to needs some clarification.

 

I'm not sure, but I don't think POST has anything to do with the problem.  Most likely the input is not well-formed XML.

 

In order for an XSLT processor to xsl:copy any content, that content must be well-formed XML, and typical HTML is not well-formed XML. If the content has HTML markup, then simply wrapping the content in an element does not make it well-formed.  That only applies if the content is text such as Javascript.  The third paragraph in this section mentions that any HTML markup must be well-formed markup:

 

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/InsertExtHtml.html

 

The xsl:output can still be method="html", and the processor will convert your well-formed XML back into plain HTML. 

 

If that still doesn't work, then post an example.

I have been able to follow the examples in the DocBook XSL guide and have inserted the code as per Chapter 11 but I am still having issues since the html is a href with POST parameters that is causing the transformation engine to choke.  I have treated the HTML as malformed and done as suggested -- wrapped the html in proper xml tags <badcode> html </badcode> but still no luck

Subject: [docbook-apps] html pass thru

Hello,

    Seems like a simple thing that I should be able to find in help -- but to no avail.

 

   I am writing contect destined for web output and I want to place some html within the docbook xml and have it pass thru unaltered.  I want the html to be "live" and thus CDATA will not work

 

    Is there a processing instruction for such a purpose ?

 

Cheers

Eric
