Description Daniel Macks 2005-11-02 21:56:35 UTC

Version details: 2.12.1

During "Making all in fdl", I get several undefined entity errors:

C/fdl.xml:603: parser error : Entity 'copy' not defined
        Copyright &copy; YEAR YOUR NAME.
                        ^

and lots of missing elements warnings:

(many occurances of that block or similar, and also from "xsltproc -o fdl-es.omf")

Comment 1 Daniel Macks 2005-11-02 21:58:39 UTC

This is with gnome-doc-utils 0.4.3. Not sure what other packages/versions might
be relevant here...

Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2005-12-31 14:56:34 UTC

Ah, someone from the doc team should fix this. Could you send a bug to gnome-doc-list at gnome dot org?

Thanks

Comment 3 Daniel Macks 2006-01-10 22:17:11 UTC

Done.

Comment 4 Shaun McCance 2006-03-25 18:38:26 UTC

Fixed on HEAD and gnome-2-14
