Re: Store non-well-formed HTML fragment

Thanks, Jim, for the pointer.

However, the link discusses a different scenario: I don't want to output text/plain but instead content type text/html instead.

Hence, one can't use output method "text", since all markup get's lost:

Consider this example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p:declare-step xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step" version="1.0">
    <p:input port="source">
        <p:empty/>
    </p:input>
    <p:output port="result">
        <p:pipe port="result" step="store"/>
    </p:output>
    <p:identity>
        <p:input port="source">
            <p:inline>
<c:data type="text/plain">
<div>
    Test&amp;
</div>
<p>
    Test&#160;
</p>
</c:data>
            </p:inline>
        </p:input>
    </p:identity>
    <p:store name="store" href="test.html" method="text" encoding="utf-8" media-type="text/plain" />
</p:declare-step>

This produces:

    Test&


    Test 

[with some whitespace surrounded]

You see, all markup is skipped. Also escaping the markup doesn't solve the problem, since also entities are escaped. Moreover, generally the problem with method "text" is that indentation cannot be applied.

I'd expect this to work like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p:declare-step xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step" version="1.0">
    <p:input port="source">
        <p:empty/>
    </p:input>
    <p:output port="result">
        <p:pipe port="result" step="store"/>
    </p:output>
    <p:identity>
        <p:input port="source">
            <p:inline>
<div>
    Test&amp;
</div>
<p>
    Test&#160;
</p>
            </p:inline>
        </p:input>
    </p:identity>
    <p:store name="store" href="test.html" method="html" encoding="utf-8" media-type="text/html" version="4.01" />
</p:declare-step>

And the expected output would be:
<div>
    Test&amp;
</div>
<p>
    Test&#160;
</p>

Again, with plain XSLT it's no problem to just store not well-formed xml (with more than one root element) to a file. So maybe XProc should also be aligned with XSLT regarding this? In my scenario it is not acceptable to solely store single rooted HTML snippets. Hence, this simple use case would opt-out XProc over plain XSLT, which is somehow disappointing :(

Anyone else for a solution/suggestions? 

Thanks!
