In XML files elements that are empty still need a closing tag or need to use the empty tag symbols... ie <br> should be either <br /> or <br></br>. You don't have a well-formed XML file. If it's not an element, and you're doing character escaping it is just text. If you need to convert sgml to xml there are tools out there (drawing a blank, but I'm pretty sure James Clark has one. trang? ) Of course, if it's just sgml html you can convert it using tidy. > the same output as internet explorer.

You've done disable-output-escaping (doe), so that probably causing the problem. It's not required for a processor to implement. (It's described more in 16.4 of the XSLT 1.0 spec). > - I setted the disable-output-escaping attribute to "yes" and "no", and it > didn't work with above combination... Again, why the heck are you using doe? > - I added the <xsl:preserve-space elements="text"/> in my xsl file and it > didn't work with above combination... Considering that <br> isn't whitespace that certainly wouldn't work. How you are treating it is the opposite of whitespace, ie right now it's pure character data. But for it to be really useful, you need to treat it as an element. Remember XSLT doesn't treat any xml input in a special way. It has no idea that <br> is supposed to be "whitespace". > Any idea?

Why not just do something like the following example? > <xsl:template match="text"> > <div> <xsl:apply-templates /> > </div> > </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="br"> <br /> </xsl:template> That way the built-in rules will catch the various text nodes, and the br will work once you actually have well-formed XML. These are all FAQs, and you might want to look through some tutorials and the FAQ. Jon Gorman
