RE: There appears to be an XML-to- HTML formatting problem on my
server...

A couple of things:
(1) I have no problem with Cocoon using the default formatter. The problem
here is that, in the cocoon.properties file, the declaration for the header
that should be put in for text/html is copied below:
# HTML 4.0 (strict)
formatter.text/html.doctype-public = -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN
formatter.text/html.doctype-system =
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd
but what is actually being put into the header is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html-in-xml/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
which is clearly different from the header that is declared for the default
formatter! Unless there is something I am missing? If Cocoon is going to
insist on using the default formatter, why isn't it pulling in the correct
DTD???
(2) Please note that the XML file did, indeed, have a Cocoon formatting
processing instruction in it (as explained in my original message):
<?cocoon-format type="text/html/loose"?>
which is intended to make Cocoon use the following from the
cocoon.properties file:
# HTML 4.0 (transitional)
formatter.text/html/loose.doctype-public = -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN
formatter.text/html/loose.doctype-system =
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd
formatter.text/html/loose.preserve-space = true
formatter.text/html/loose.encoding = UTF-8
formatter.text/html/loose.indent = 1
formatter.text/html/loose.line-width = 120
formatter.text/html/loose.MIME-type = text/html
Note that, in addition, I added the following to my .XSL file, as indicated
by the FAQ:
<xsl:template match="cocoon-format()">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
My processing- instruction is still being ignored, the default is still
being used -- and the default is still not even going to the correct DTD.
This is looking more and more like a Cocoon bug. Am I correct, or am I
missing something?
(3) What I am trying to do is output XML. What I am *really* doing is trying
to get an Xalan servlet example to work on a system that happens to have
Cocoon on it. I am finding some weird interactions between servlets that use
Xalan and Cocoon. This info, however, is FYI; the problems I am having can
be solved if Cocoon wouldn't keep putting in that reference to a nonexistent
DTD, so that is the thing I am trying to fix.

What are you trying to do? Output XML? Cocoon does always process XML
and nothing else. HTML is an org.apache.cocoon.formatter question.
