XMLHTMLParser Entity Handling oddity

All,

I'm hitting an interesting issue with XMLHTMLParser and I'm not even
sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour. Given an HTML Entity in a
String it's resolved or quoted depending on the tag (header or section tag):

doc := XMLHTMLParser parse:
'<html><head><title>Ü</title></head><body>Ü</body></html>'.
(doc findElementNamed: 'title') contentString. "'Ü'"
(doc findElementNamed: 'body') contentString. "'Ü'"

In my understanding and according to
https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.4.2 Entities in the
title tag are allowed and should IMHO be resolved.

So both should return 'Ü' in this case.

Any pointers?

CU,

Udo

Re: XMLHTMLParser Entity Handling oddity

Hi guys

It would be supercool to have a chapter on the XML package.

Does any of you have the knowledge to do it?

I do not have it.

So both should return 'Ü' in this case.

Any pointers?

Re: XMLHTMLParser Entity Handling oddity

Yes, but at this point it will probably be a booklet, like the Glorp and Smacc ones you posted.

Re: XMLHTMLParser Entity Handling oddity

Hi monty

yes I would love to have a booklet and I can help reading and reviewing and producing it.

Tell me that you want.

What you can do also is to start by writing little (2/3) page blok posts and we turn them into a booklet.
