Testcase for possible bug in entity definition serialization (6.45 KB, application/octet-stream)
2003-11-12 16:00 UTC, vyt 		Details

Description vyt 2003-11-12 15:59:19 UTC 
XInclude processing produce invalid result tree. Entity definitions must be
checking and string
<!ENTITY percnt "%">
must be
<!ENTITY percnt "&#x0025;">
as described in
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xmlcharent/0.3/iso-num.ent

Testcase is attached.

$ xmllint --version
xmllint: using libxml version 20602
   compiled with: DTDValid FTP HTTP HTML C14N Catalog XPath XPointer
XInclude Iconv Unicode Regexps Automata Schemas 

This is version from cvs head, 11 November 2003.

I can't normally download my attachment so I put testcase to
http://www.vzljot.ru/vyt/xinclude-test-2.tar.bz2
Comment 3 Oleg Paraschenko 2003-11-23 20:15:40 UTC 
Another test case, without dependency on docbook DTD:

----- <test.xml>
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA|test)*>
]>
<test>hello <xi:include href="included.xml"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
</test>
----- </test.xml>

----- <included.xml>
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY percnt     "&#x0025;"> <!-- PERCENT SIGN -->
]>
<test>hello</test>
----- </included.xml>

Result of

xmllint --xinclude test.xml

is

----- <result>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA | test)*>
<!ENTITY percnt "%">
]>
<test>hello <test>hello</test>
</test>
----- </result>

Definition of "percnt" is corrupted.

Additional note: if I define "percnt" entity in main file, then
definition of "percnt" in result is correct.
Comment 4 Daniel Veillard 2003-12-09 22:52:29 UTC 
Yes, the fact that original form is lost is really specific to
XInclude processing. I just fixed the problem in CVS:

paphio:~/XML/tmp -> ../xmllint --xinclude test.xml
test.xml:5: element include: XInclude warning : Deprecated XInclude
namespace found, use http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA | test)*>
<!ENTITY percnt "&#x25;">
]>
<test>hello <test>hello</test>
</test>
paphio:~/XML/tmp ->

  thanks for the report !

This should be closed in release of libxml2-2.6.5,
