--- Begin Message ---Package: xmlto Version: 0.0.18-4 Severity: normal Hi all. I have been having trouble with PDF generation from a DocBook XML file which contained an `amp´ entity in a `url´ attribute in a `ulink´ element. For instance, the following input shows the problem: --8<-- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"; [ ]> <article lang="en"> <para> XXX <ulink url="http://host/script.cgi?arg1=val1&arg2=val2";></ulink> XXX </para> </article> --8<-- That was a perfectly valid XML DocBook file (in fact, the conversion to HTML gives the pretended link). However, running `xmlto pdf test.xml´ yields the following output: --8<-- Making portrait pages on a4 paper (209.9028mm x 297.0389mm) This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b (Web2C 7.4.5) (./tmp.fo{/usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg} LaTeX2e <2001/06/01> Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, nohyphenation, loaded. xmltex version: 2002/06/25 v1.9 (Exp): (/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/config/xmltex.cfg) No File: tmp.cfg (/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/passivetex/fotex.xmt) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls Document Class: article 2001/04/21 v1.4e Standard LaTeX document class (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/size10.clo)) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/passivetex/fotex.sty ) No file tmp.aux.

Maybe the bug should be assigned to xmltex or passivetex; however, my knowledge of the xmlto toolchain is insuficient for me to decide.

When using dblatex to create the pdf file the build runs fine. Not sure where in the chain the bug was fixed, but it is now.
