Re: [Exist-open] How to render empty tags not as self-closing tags?

[Jean-Paul R. <re...@gm...>]

I use the following Xquery declarations to control output without any issue
(....which I took directly from eXist's view.xql):

declare namespace output = "http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization
";

declare option output:method "html5";
declare option output:media-type "text/html";

And some of my outputs are generated in XSLT within Xquery like yours....
