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

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
