xslt中未关闭的html标记

Question

I'd like to have unclosed html tag as a result of xslt. I'll add closing tag later in xslt. How can I achieve this? This one doesn't compile:

<xsl:when test="$href">
     <xsl:text><a href='{$href}'></xsl:text>
 </xsl:when>

Thanx

Answer 1

This is the kind of thing that you probably should want to avoid at all costs. I do not know your requirements but you perhaps want a link or a span tag based on something.

In these instances you can use something like this

<xsl:apply-templates select="tag"/>

then 2 templates ie

<xsl:template match="tag">
    <span>hello king dave</span>    
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="tag[@href]">
    <a href="{@href}">link text....</a>    
</xsl:template>

Answer 2

It's hard to give a definite answer without a better idea of the precise use case, but it's worth noting that you can use match and name on the same <xsl:template> . For example, if you want to produce some particular output for all <tag> elements, but also wrap this output in an <a> tag in certain cases, then you could use an idiom like

<xsl:template match="tag[@href]">
  <a href="{@href}"><xsl:call-template name="tagbody" /></a>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="tag" name="tagbody">
  Tag content was "<xsl:value-of select="."/>"
</xsl:template>

The idea here is that tag elements with an href will match the first template, which does some additional processing before and after calling the general tag template. Tags without an href will just hit the normal template without the wrapping logic. Ie for an input like

<root>
  <tag>foo</tag>
  <tag href="#">bar</tag>
</root>

you would get an output like

Tag content was "foo"
<a href="#">Tag content was "bar"</a>

Answer 3

I had the same problem before and was only able to solve it by copying the entire <a href='{$href}'>...</a> for each when branch.

Maybe you could try setting the doctype of your XSL to some loose XML standard, but afaik XSLT is pretty strict.

Edit: apparently you can set the doctype with a <xsl:output> tag.

Found solution on the net:

        <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<a href=']]></xsl:text>
                 <xsl:value-of select="href"/>
        <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA['>]]></xsl:text>
