Hi,
I'm attempting to transform one XML file into another. The only
modification I want to make is to add IDs to div elements. That part
works correctly; however, I'm having trouble processing comments. I'm
probably missing something very elementary and that's probably why I'm
having such a hard time seeing what's wrong. I'm using saxon.
As you can see, I'm not getting comments in the output.
If this proves too easy, I have another question, too. Elements without
content, given in the XML source file as "<head></head>", show up in the
output as self-terminating, e.g. "<head/>". Is there a way to force
saxon to output both start and end tags?
