Bob Harner commented on TAP5-840:
---------------------------------
The supplied patch has grown stale and no longer applies cleanly against the
trunk (but could probably be fixed). I guess this issue is awaiting
consideration of whether to write a simple custom XML parser to replace the SAX
parser (see
http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/State-on-HTML5-integration-woodstox-rollback-td2470926.html).
As a workaround, using entity numbers instead of names (© instead of
©, ™ instead of ™, etc.) works fine with the HTML5 doctype.
> Support character references in tml files with HTML 5 Doctype

> Key: TAP5-840
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-840
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.0.18
> Reporter: Ben Gidley
> Attachments: patch.txt
>
>
> Currently to support HTML character references (e.g. ©) you need to put
> a HTML Doctype at the top of the TML file.
> e.g. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
> "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
> However for HTML 5 they have stopped using XML doctypes and instead use
> <!DOCTYPE html>
> If you change tapestry page to use this you can no longer use entities as the
> XML parser doesn't know what to do.
> Ideally there should be some kind of logic that detects <!DOCTYPE html> and
> include a suitable DTD to resolve the common HTML entities. The HTML 5
> specification defines the allowed named character references -
> http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#named-character-references. There
> doesn't seem to be a DTD of allowed references maintained anymore.
