I can’t use character maps with RESTXQ
For HTML with embedded Javascript, I need to output > as > rather than as >
In XSLT I’m doing
<xsl:character-map name="a">
<!-- This charmap is necessary for embedding CSS that contains '>'
combinators -->
<xsl:output-character character=">" string=">"/>
</xsl:character-map>and
<xsl:output method="xhtml" indent="no"
encoding="UTF-8" use-character-maps="a" omit-xml-declaration="no"
html-version="5.0"
doctype-public="" doctype-system=""/>In RESTXQ I tried the following:
I created a document called html-charmap.xml with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<serialization-parameters
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization">
<use-character-maps>
<character-map character=">" map-string=">"/>
</use-character-maps>
</serialization-parameters>It resides in the directory where the xqm is located. The xqm contains this function:
module namespace my = 'my';
declare %rest:GET %rest:path("/charmap/test") %output:method("xhtml") %output:html-version("5.0") %output:parameter-document("html-charmap.xml") %rest:produces("text/html") function my:html() { <html> <head> <title>Charmap Test</title> <meta charset="UTF-8"/> <script> alert('You are in ' + (document.compatMode==='CSS1Compat'?'Standards':'Quirks') + ' mode and 1

> 0 is ' + (1 > 0)</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Charmap Test</h1>
<p>></p>
<p>></p>
</body>
</html>
};When I retrieve /charmap/test, all > characters are still escaped as >
When I change %output:parameter-document to %output:parameter-document("tml-charmap.xml"), BaseX doesn’t complain about the missing parameter document.
What am I doing wrong?
In XSLT 3 with Saxon, I can also do
<xsl:output method="xhtml" indent="yes" include-content-type="no"
encoding="UTF-8" parameter-document="html-charmap.xml"
omit-xml-declaration="no" html-version="5.0"
doctype-public="" doctype-system=""/>and this will use html-charmap.xml and it will complain when it’s the wrong file name.

Correction & for completeness: I forgot a closing parenthesis in Javascript (but this isn’t causing the unused character map issue, of course…):

Hi Gerrit,
Right, the »parameter-document« serialization parameter is currently not supported by RESTXQ, as this might cause too many conflicts at runtime. You can try »use-character-maps« instead (with and without RESTXQ, with a slightly non-standard syntax):
declare %rest:path("/test") %output:use-character-maps(">=>,1=3") function _:html() { <xml> 1 > 2 </xml> };
declare option output:use-character-maps '>=>,1=3';
<script> 1 > 2 </script>
serialize(<xml> 1 > 2 </xml>,
map { 'use-character-maps': '>=>,1=3' }
)…and the standard way, for fn:serialize, as a reminder:
serialize(<xml> 1 > 2 </xml>,
map { 'use-character-maps': map { '>': '>', '1': '3' } }
)Keys and values are separated by the equal sign; pairs are separated by commas. Separators that are to be defined as keys or values can be encoded as entities (see the updated article on serialization parameters [1]).
Hope this helps, Christian

Excellent, I’ll take undocumented non-standard features for $500, Alex. Er, Christian. And you just documented it: https://docs.basex.org/index.php?title=Serialization&type=revision&diff=15714&oldid=15564
Thanks!
