Re: [Exist-open] Contraction of empty src-only script elements - issue

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi Roy,

How are you serving the HTML pages from eXist? Directly? You might need to
insert a handler via controller.xql or RESTXQ to ensure that requests for
these HTML resources are serialized as HTML rather than as XML. For an
example of this pattern, see eXide’s controller.xql and how requests for
HTML files are forwarded through modules/view.xql, which declares HTML5
serialization options.
