I have some XSLT that gets rendered in the Sitecore 6 CMS, but I don’t think that this issue is specific to the product.
If I have a self-closing img or br tag, like so:
<br />
<img src="your.example.com" />
The resulting output would be:
<br>
<img src="your.example.com">
The output method of the XSLT file is HTML. Is it supposed to be XML? I’m guessing that self-closing tags are not valid HTML, but is setting it to XML going to cause problems in my output?
That is just fine. You choose HTML, and
<br>tags are allowed in HTML. Choose XML and then you will have what you want.And yes, you should use XML method if you want self-closing tags. I’m guessing you want XHTML output, and XHTML is a XML document.
