Package: nanoblogger
Version: 3.2.3-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Summary:
The tidy plugin shredders the feed files (*xml) if they (a) contain
non-ASCII characters and (b) are not encoded in UTF-8.
Details:
* blog.conf has a variable TIDY_ARGS
* tidy.sh has the following variables at the beginning:
: ${TIDY_ARGS:=-asxhtml -n -utf8}
: ${TIDY_HTML_ARGS:=$TIDY_ARGS}
: ${TIDY_XML_ARGS:=-xml -n -utf8 -wrap 0}
* That means that the TIDY_XML_ARGS cannot be influenced via
blog.conf at the moment, that '-utf8' is always used for the xml
files, and that non-ASCII chars are scrambled if they are encoded
differently than UTF-8 ...
Suggested solution:
* Delete the TIDY_ARGS variable from blog.conf and tidy.sh
* Set the defaults for TIDY_HTML_ARGS and TIDY_XML_ARGS in tidy.sh
* Add these two variables to blog.conf (with the default values in
order to ease modifications for the user).
The suggested changes can be found in the patches below.
(This change would kind of break current installations, because
the existing TIDY_ARGS variable is not honoured any more. But IMO a
hint in the changelog and/or NEWS.Debian should be enough.)
