Dear Henrik,

eXist can handle HTML documents in one of two ways:
1. if we want the HTML parsed as nodes and query-able or usable as
templates, it must be XML compliant in format (important: this has nothing
to do with XHTML namespace)
2. otherwise HTML file must be stored as a binary document...in which case
it is no longer nodes and no longer query-able ad it would have to be
streamed to the browser as such

Option 1 means you would have <fx-fore create-nodes=3D""></fx-fore> in your
document. You can then output it using the following declarations in your
query prolog (i.e. serialization):

declare namespace output =3D "http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serializat=
ion
";

declare option output:method "html5";
declare option output:media-type "text/html";

Your html will appear in the browser as <fx-fore create-nodes>.


HTH,
