RE: [docbook-apps] Server Side Includes for ASP

It has taken me a week of running experiments to get the proper handle on this.

When I am producing unchunked HTML output, it does indeed work as you have described.    

Unless I am misconstructing a chunked HTML output customization, chunking does not work.

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

  <xsl:import href="html/docbook.xsl"/>
  <xsl:import href="html/chunk-common.xsl"/>
  <xsl:include href="html/chunk-code.xsl"/>

  <xsl:template name="user.preroot">
  	<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
&lt;%@  Page language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" MasterPageFile="~/FANUCRoboticsMasterPageMeta.master"%>
     </xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:param name="root.filename" select="'default'"/>  
  <xsl:param name="html.ext" select="'.aspx'"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

If I pull the lines for chunk-common.xsl and chunk-code.xsl, the first line of the HTML output is:

<%@  Page language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" MasterPageFile="~/FANUCRoboticsMasterPageMeta.master"%>

IF I put the lines for chunk-common.xsl and chunk-code.xsl back in, the first line of the HTML output is:

&lt;%@  Page language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" MasterPageFile="~/FANUCRoboticsMasterPageMeta.master"%&gt;

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in how the stylesheets operate?

Hi Daniel,
Your first example works for me when I use xsltproc.  Not clear why it doesn't for you.

Your second example actually fails when I try to process it with xsltproc.  I get this error message:

    xsltParseTemplateContent: xslt:text content problem

That isn't surprising, since xsl:text is supposed to contain only text, not elements 
like <title>.  I just wonder why you aren't getting that error message.   If you 
convert <title> to &lt;title> and the same for the closing tag, then your code works for me. Or put it in a CDATA:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> &lt;asp:Content ID="cntHead" ContentPlaceHolderID="cphHeadContent" Runat="Server">
    <![CDATA[<title>Benefits of Flexible Part Feeding</title> ]]> &lt;/asp:Content> </xsl:text>

That works for me too.

I am trying to publish an ASP document.  Most of it is working, but there are two 
parts (both variation of the same thing) that are giving me a hard time.

I need to put

<%@  Page language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" 
MasterPageFile="~/FANUCRoboticsMasterPageMeta.master" Title="FLEXIBLE PART FEEDING"%>

in my document.  I have coded this as:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;%@  Page language="VB" 
AutoEventWireup="false" MasterPageFile="~/FANUCRoboticsMasterPageMeta.master" 
Title="FLEXIBLE PART FEEDING"%></xsl:text>

in my customization.  When I look at my published documents, here is what I get.

&lt;%@  Page language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" 
MasterPageFile="~/FANUCRoboticsMasterPageMeta.master" Title="FLEXIBLE PART 
FEEDING"%&gt;

My second problem is that I need to put

<asp:Content ID="cntHead" ContentPlaceHolderID="cphHeadContent" Runat="Server">
    <title>Benefits of Flexible Part Feeding</title>
</asp:Content>

in my document.  I have coded this as:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
&lt;asp:Content ID="cntHead" ContentPlaceHolderID="cphHeadContent" Runat="Server">
    <title>Benefits of Flexible Part Feeding</title>
&lt;/asp:Content>
</xsl:text>

Again, when I look look at my published documents, here is what I get.

&lt;asp:Content ID="cntHead" ContentPlaceHolderID="cphHeadContent" Runat="Server"&gt;
    <title>Benefits of Flexible Part Feeding</title>
&lt;/asp:Content&gt;

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

I am using V1.74 DocBook style sheets and xsltproc.  I am no more ideas left on how to 
turn &lt; and &gt; into < and >.
