Bob,
I am looking at chap 11 -- HTML
customizations section on Inserting HTML code in the page content -- If it helps
I am using the 3rd edition of your book. By the way, thanks for putting
the effort into the book, very very useful.
Anyway here is the the offending
line of html code. Its a link to a product on amazon.com and was supplied
by amazon. The transformation engine does not like the &tag saying it
needs to end with a semicolon.
I was hoping to just escape the
html and let it pass thru but I am also interested in how to fix the html -- if
that is easier

thanks
Eric

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

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
