How to avoid end-tags ?

["Stephane Mouchel Vichard (Japan)" <sm...@ludiwap.co.jp>]

Hello everybody,

I meet a problem with my xsl file each time I want to have an output without
"/".
To be clearer, here an example:
I would like to have an output like that:
.....
<BR>
......


1) WORKS PERFECTLY but the result is <BR/> :
<xsl:template match="newline">
<BR></BR>
</xsl:template>


2) ERROR MESSAGE:  "BR" must be terminated by the mathing end-tag "</BR>" :
<xsl:template match="newline">
<BR>
</xsl:template>

Anybody has an idea ?
Thanks,

Stephane

Which cocoon are you using ? 

You can use something like 
<xsl:template match="newline">
<BR/>
</xsl:template>

if you want to use XHTML otherwise in C1 you will have to do something like;

* add <?cocoon-format type="test/html"?> to top of file
* add into cocoon.properties the following
formatter.type.text/html        = org.apache.cocoon.formatter.HTMLFormatter

However this should be done by default.

If you are using C2 I assume there is an equivelent (possibly called
serializers or formatters in sitemap ???)
