unpaired tags tranformation

Hi all
    I have a prboblem with Xalan 1.10. Unpaired tags like <br> and <img> 
are rendered fine, but in output HTML document for each unpaired 
element, one closing tag of a paired element is removed. Example:
<html>
<body>
<p>some text</p>
</body>
</html>

<html>
<body>
<p> some text</p>
<br>
</body>

    In the second HTML document there is missing </html> tag. In Xalan 
1.8 it is OK, sablotron renders it ok as well. I'm not attaching any 
files, because they're quite complex and I have to simplify them.
    I played around a lot, but this is always happening. Behaviour is a 
liltle bit more complex, but result is the same - for each unpaired tag, 
a closing tag of a paired element is missing in the result.
    Any ideas? A huge project is based on Xalan and use of Xalan 1.8 is 
not possible any more.

Thanks

Can you please submit a Jira issue so we remember to update the web site?

Thanks!

I don't fully understand this, but ok, if this is your policy. But a note about 
it would be *very* welcome.

this link is OK, but link on http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/whatsnew.html#bugs is 
pointing to http://nagoya.apache.org/jira

First of all, we never patch existing releases -- the overhead required 
is too great.

I'm not sure why you can't access the Jira repository, as I'm not having 
any problems.  The defect you're looking for is here:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-591

> Where is a SVN repository for xalan-c?

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xalan/c/trunk

for the trunk.  You might also be able to apply the patch right from the 
Jira issue, although I'm not sure if there were any intervening changes 
to the affected files:

Waw. Why is this not fixed in main src package; why there is not even a note; 
the link to jira bug reports doesn't work... can anybody tell?

Where is a SVN repository for xalan-c?
Thanks

This is a bug that was fixed after Xalan 1.10 was released.  You can get 
the latest code from the SVN repository to get the fix.
