GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323816
xsl:output mode="xml" isn't an error
Last modified: 2021-07-05 11:00:10 UTC
libxslt doesn't complain when mode="xml" is specified as an attribute in xsl:output. Since I couldn't spell method="xml", I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why my output was html formatted instead of xml format. It would be nice if libxslt complained about invalid attributes in xsl:output. Maybe this one slipped by.. Other information:
I think, this applies to all XSLT elements. And yes, fixing this would make debugging a lot easier.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
