Hi Lars Johnsen,
declare the output to be HTML using the [serialization options], for example add these lines to the XQuery prolog:
declare option output:method "html"; declare option output:html-version "5.0"; (: not required, will add XML declaration :)
Doing so, BaseX will not shorten empty tags any more.
Kind regards, Jens Erat
