Description Christoph Anton Mitterer 2013-08-15 00:30:24 UTC 
Hi.

Well I know some people have some strong attitude towards XML1.1,... anyway it would be nice if libxml2 eventually supports it.

AFAIK[0], many of the "controversial" features of XML1.1 anyway made it into XML1.0 as well in the 5th edition or are unrelated to 1.1.


Cheers,
Chris.

Where is the exact scope defined?
Comment 2 Christoph Anton Mitterer 2013-08-15 21:58:50 UTC 
Hi André.

What exactly do you mean? :)

Cheers,
Chris.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2013-08-16 07:24:34 UTC 
A link to a spec.
Comment 4 Daniel Veillard 2013-08-16 09:25:09 UTC 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/

but the good parts were reintegrated in XML-1.0 indeed ans implemented in
libxml2, and 1.1 doesn't make much sense IMHO.

XML 1.0 doesn't support control characters, even if they are expressed as XML entities.
Comment 6 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 13:22:13 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
