Hi Christian,
Wonderful, many thanks! Works perfectly in 12.2, of course. And apologies for the noise, I hadn't even realised I was already one version behind...
Best,
Ron

Betreff: [basex-talk] BaseX-12.1: HTML 5.0 serialization differenceHi,
I've noticed a serialization difference since updating to BaseX-12.1, and am wondering if this is intentional or not.
When serializing as HTML 5.0, the character escaping in <script> tags seems to be influenced by the presence of preceding <script> tags that are either empty or only contain collapsible whitespace:
- when a <script> element follows a non-empty (or non-collapsible) <script> element, special characters like &, <, and > are unescaped in the output
- when, however, a <script> element follows an empty (or collapsible) <script> element, special characters like &, <, and > are escaped in the output
I'm wondering if this is intentional or a bug?
Best,
Ron
