Okay, i understand how it works now. These tags are defined in amend_*.wml and vote_*.wml. But some files under vote/ (e.g. howto_*.wml) include wml::debian::votebar without defining these tags. And magically <sub> was not removed during pass 2 by wml 1.7.4, whereas it is by wml 2.0.2 which causes a Perl syntax error. > > Most errors are caused by erroneous input (it's nice, you may use WML2 > > to validate changes ;-)) > > Unfortunately :) > > > I will send patches later to Josip, as he seems interested in these > > compatibility issues. > > Sure, and CC: the list. Too late :-) Feel free to forward this patch. Denis
