    XML tag appears when adding macro between <title> tags.

    Good afternoon.

    I've got a simple macro that renders a generic property to the browser. If I add this to the body of the page, my string appears as expected. "Company Name", for example.

    However, if I add this to the title tags I get:

    ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>Company Name

    I can't think why this would be happening, especially as it's only when it's between the title tags. The Xslt isn't complex:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
  <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet
  version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
  xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"/>

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:variable name="homeNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1065)"/>

    <xsl:value-of select="$homeNode/siteName"/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi Ste,

    I assume if you view source you'll see the same code output - but XML/HTML tags aren't allowed between the <title> tags, so the browser will do some filtering to make sure it doesn't explode.

    You should do two things to the above macro:

    1. Change the match attribute to match="/"
    2. Add the omit-xml-declaration="yes" attribute to the <xsl:output> element, which will make sure not to output anything but the value you specify

    Like this:

    <xsl:stylesheet
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
    xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
    exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">

    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:variable name="homeNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1065)"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="$homeNode/siteName"/>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

    You could actually also change the method="xml" to method="text", since you're only rendering a textfield - but who knows what you'll do later, right?
