RE: [xsl] MSXML, xsl:copy, XML Output and BR tags.

["Paul Hammond" <paul at crazyturtle dot com>]

Another good idea, but this still does not work.

I think this a feature of the <xsl:copy> element - if i just put a <br /> in
the XSL file it comes out just as expected.  It seems to be that if you
<xsl:copy /> any element that is in the form <blah />, the output tree
contains <blah></blah>.

Is there perhaps an XSL element that I can set options in to prevent this?
Or is this just a feature of MSXML3 I will have to work around??  The
original MSXML object did not do this - it just left empty tags in the short
format.

I would have thought <tag /> would be considered "better XML" then
<tag></tag> (IMHO)...

Thanks again in advance of your answers!
PH

There's always the old trick of stuffing a dummy attribute in to force the
space:

<br class="br"/>

Would that do it, Paul?

Cheers,
