VFE - invalid xhtml <img> tag

OK, I couldn't find this one.

I have configured VFE to publish xhtml
EG

<standard autoclean="true" publish="xhtml" publishviewassource="false" continueparagraph="false">

Now I understood this as ensuring the content would result in xhtml so that I could throw it into an XML parser or more specifically an XSLT transform.

Things like <br> tags turn in <br /> which is great. Not so for the <img> tag. When using the image selection tool, it does not close off the <img> tag EG <img /> <img></img>

1. Is there a configuration I have missed? Should this work?
2. I was trying to come up with a regex that would solve this, closing specific tags *if* they were not already closed. Has anyone done this, I found it to be quite tricky.

<img > - should be closed
<img /> - should be left alone
<img></img> should be left alone

Thanks

More info on this,

When I use the viewas option in the VFE, I can see the tag is closed correctly

EG


<img src="blah.gif" />

When I look at the saved DCR, the contents looks like this


<full-text-of-story>&lt;img src="/imge/asdf/asd.gif"&gt;</full-text-of-story>

you can see there is no closing slash / before the > sign

It did the same thing for a <br /> tag.

am I looking at a bug?... has anyone else seen this?

For anyone that was interested, it was an xsl config issue.

There's an XSL file that cleans up the VFE. I found that setting the method as xml instead of html keeps it as valid xml

<xsl Smiley Surprised

utput method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

instead of

<xsl Smiley Surprised

utput method="html" />

Hi Johnny,

Can you tell me where this config change was done?

I'm currently experiencing this issue.

Thanks.
