Hello,
I have a problem when creating elements with javascript in documents that have a namespace. It works only if Prince is called with "--input=HTML", but not with "--input=XML". Note that the elements are generated in both cases. But in XML mode, they are not recognized correctly. For example a link is rendered as plain text only.
I tried to add an "xmlns" attribute to the elements created with javascript, but it didn't help.
There is an example below with the bash commands I used for the pdf generation.
In this example, if you remove the doctype and xmlns attribute of the html element, it will work with "--input=HTML" and "--input=XML".
Note that it would be very usefull to have access to a string representation of the DOM tree generated by Prince after javascript has been executed as in the developper tools in Safari or in Firebug.
Thank you for your help,
Nicolas
