Description Daniel Leidert 2007-01-06 17:32:32 UTC 
I observe, that not all comments of an XML document are copied. E.g. comments inside DOCTYPE or at the beginning of an XML document are copied. But inside an element <foo>, they are not, although they are allowed there. Could this be changed to copy all comments?

To verify: http://chemical-mime.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/chemical-mime/chemical-mime-data/src/chemical-mime-database.xml.in is a file processed with intltool. All the comments inside a mime-ino element are not copied to the resulting file. Version of intltool is 0.35.0-3 (Debian Sid).
Comment 1 Danilo Segan 2007-07-20 20:50:33 UTC 
Yeah, would make sense to support.

Involves adding something similar to intltool_tree_comment handling from intltool-extract.in.in.
Comment 2 Daniel Leidert 2009-02-08 01:24:05 UTC 
Ping! Tested intltool 0.40.5 and the issue is still there. Comments in elements are not copied to the resulting document.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2012-03-16 12:40:29 UTC 
intltool has switched from the GNOME to the launchpad.net infrastructure nearly three years ago: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2009-April/msg00275.html
The intltool product in bugzilla.gnome.org has been deprecated and closed for new bug entry since April 2009.

I am now closing all remaining open reports about intltool as NOTGNOME as part of GNOME Bugzilla Housekeeping.

Reporter: If the problem that you reported here is still valid in a recent version of intltool we kindly ask you to report it again to https://bugs.launchpad.net/intltool/ so the intltool developers get notified about it.
