Re: [xslt] Removing <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> from html output

You mean xsltproc adds the line only for html but not for xml output,
right Daniel?

Using the following snippet of XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pets>
   <pet type="cat">Max</pet>
   <pet type="parrot">Peter</pet>
</pets>

If I then apply a minimal stylesheet with output set to html:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

 <xsl:output method="html"  indent="yes" />

 <xsl:template match="/">
   <html>
   <head>
   </head>
   <body>
   </body>
   </html>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

You'll see the following html output:

<html>
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head>
<body></body>
</html>

Notice the meta tag is added, and not by the stylesheet but by the XSL
processor.

Now if we just change the output in the stylesheet to xml:

 <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

We get the following output:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html>
 <head/>
 <body/>
</html>

Sounds like there is no way to turn off the meta tag for html output
(and still have a head tag) so I'll look at making xml output work.

Thanks,

  only on XHTML-1.0 output, not on html output which is something completely
different in XSLT . I suggest you consult:
    - section 16.1 of the XSLT-1.0 spec
       http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-XML-Output-Method
    - Appendix C 9 of the XHTML-1.0 spec:
       http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_9

Either don't generate the XHTML1 doctype or post-process the output.

Daniel
