#49820 [Com]: XSLTProcessor returns Error at xsl:variable with comment inside

ID: 49820 Comment by: wellnhofer at aevum dot de Reported By: felixsigl at gmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: XSLT related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment: The second example without whitespace is a bug in libxslt. It's a pretty minor issue, but maybe I'll fix it in libxslt.

Can you also reproduce it if you remove the whitespace between the variable tags? In your example, the variable element would have a text child node with some whitespace in it. Technically, this is not allowed since the variable tag should have no content at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-09 13:03:40] felixsigl at gmail dot com Description: ------------ I have a lot of XSL files which i want to process with the libxml XSLTProcessor. But the XSLTProcessor returns Error at xsl:variable with a comment inside. I don´t know exactly if this is a bug but i think so. I know that i should use either a select attribute or child nodes in the variable to define the variable. but shouldn´t comments be ignored in that way? Reproduce code: --------------- the variable in the xsl file: doesnt work!: <xsl:variable select="1" name="var" > <!-- comment --> </xsl:variable> works: <xsl:variable select="1" name="var" /> works too: <xsl:variable name="var" > <!-- comment --> </xsl:variable> Expected result: ---------------- transformed XML Actual result: -------------- Error 1: compilation error: file file:///C:/Programme/xampp/test01.xsl line 4 element variable Line: 0 Column: 0 Error 1: XSLT-variable: The must be no child nodes, since the attribute 'select' was specified.
