xhtml output formating problems / passing through pre

Hi,

my name is Dominic and I'm new to this mailing list and to XSLT.

I'm using:

java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_05-b04, mixed mode)

With Tomcat/5.0.27

And cocoon 2.1

Running on WinXP SP2


I am trying to write a xhtml file that consist of some static areas (pre
formated xhtml)and some dynamic areas I want to fill with content from an
xml file.

Filling in the content works fine.

My problem is that cocoon will not keep the formated xhtml that I copied
into the stylesheet.

The xhtml file to be generated is very complex and the IE 6 seems to have
major problems with displaying it correctly.

As soon as some of the formating ist lost the page just doesn't display as
wanted. For example some "<a href="">sample text </a>" tags have to have the
space behind the last character as in above example in order not to show a
carriage return and an empty line underneath and so on...

Is there a way of "passing through" the Static xhtml without cocoon touching
the "structure"?


My pipeline:

<map:match pattern="test.html">
      <map:generate src="./content/sigml/full_sigml.xml"/>
      <map:transform src="test.xslt">
        <map:parameter name="contextPath" value="{request:contextPath}"/>
      </map:transform>
      <map:serialize type="xhtml"/>
    </map:match>

Stylesheet : http://www.zeitdesigner.de/xslt/test.xslt
Output xhtml: http://www.zeitdesigner.de/xslt/test.htm



Thanks for any help or Ideas!!
