I'm just switching a MSXML file to XSLT. When I try to process the file
with Instant Saxon (6.5.1), the transformation fails, telling me that "No
character data allowed between top level elements." My XSL currently
looks looks like this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:HTML="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:template match="newsletter"> <!--**** THIS IS THE LINE THAT GETS
THE ERROR-->
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<!--style stuff here-->
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!--a bunch of HTML here-->
<xsl:apply-templates select="article"/>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
<!--various templates here-->
</xsl:stylesheet>
(<newsletter> is the name of the root element in my XML data; I also
tried <xsl:template match="/"> but that didn't work either. Plainly I'm
missing something basic, but I can't figure out what it is.
Thanks,
Eric
