Bug#1015848: workaround to achieve XHTML-compatible output
Hi everyone,
perhaps the other heavy xmlstarlet users are also interested
in this, so I decided to share.
I wrote an LD_PRELOADable library (sorry, Macintosh users) that
can be used to make xmlstarlet fo/sel output a space before the
“/>” as is needed for XHTML.
https://mbsd.evolvis.org/cvs.cgi/contrib/hosted/tg/forceXHTML.c?rev=HEAD
This was not entirely simple as many useful functions for minimal
change are not exposed by the API; “fo” is a tad more fragile than
“sel” but I tested both on a small corpus and diff’d against the
normal results, but I don’t have PIs or anything else fancy in there.
I tested these on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (“bullseye”). These might even
work with other tools (xmllint/xsltproc) but I don’t use them, only
xmlstarlet, have “always” been.
Maybe drop me a note if you enjoy it, have patches or suggestions.
bye,
//mirabilos
