putting HTML into XSL files

Novice

Hi all, from every example I've ever seen on using XSL files, the user is able to put HTML into the XSL file

Well, I'm making use of the XPathDocument and XSLTransform classes to transform some XML content into HTML. I would like to include "img" tags and potentially "br" tags in the XSL file, but I get errors like this

The 'img' start tag on line '22' doesn't match the end tag of 'td' in file 'file:///c:/inetpub/wwwroot/SomeApplication/someXSLFile.xsl'. Line 22, position 33.

when I call the XSLTransform.Load method - is there some way I can stop the Load method from validating the input (which it seems to think is XML)

I've successfully used the above code to do transforms, but I wanted to add some new formatting to the HTML that is contained in the XSL file - is there a way to do this? Maybe I could do an HTML include in the XSL file, so that it doesn't try to validate the included file of just HTML

Thanks

Try this:

<img ... /> and <br />

Hi,
There is no way to prevent the Load from checking for well-formedness.

A common way to workaround your problem is to have closing tags for img &
br. HTML browsers don't simply ignore closing tgs for img & br without
complaining.

That's great! Thanks for the tip - I applied the same thing to the "input" tags. I didn't know the browser could handle them being specified like that

Now I'm having a problem with certain characters - like "&" in the text of the document - for example

<html><body
This & Tha
</ body></html

Thanks

Never mind my latest question - I found that the answer is to use the entity reference:
&

Unfortunately the above will likely appear as just an & - it should be (without the spaces):
& a m p ;

Thanks all,

'file:///c:/inetpub/wwwroot/SomeApplication/someXSLFile.xsl'. Line 22,

the easy solution is to just be sure to properly close the img and br tags.
Ie, make it xhtml compliant:

Instead of:

<img src="monkey.gif"><br>

use:
<img src="monkey.gif" /><br />

> <html><body>

This & That
</ body></html>

You need to escape ampersands:

&

Not necessarily. The literal value "&" can appear in a result document
by either telescoping the entity reference (works in HTML and XML),

&amp;

or representing it within a CDATA section (XML output only),
