Re: [libxml-devel] UTF-8 problem

[Charlie Savage]

Hi David,

I'm trying to input and output special characters, but I'm getting parse errors from libxml.

Code snippet:
        node = LibXML::XML::Node.new 'node'
        node.content = ''
        doc = LibXML::XML::Document.new
        doc.encoding = 'UTF-8'
        doc.root = node
        xml = doc.to_s true, 'UTF-8'

        parser = LibXML::XML::Parser.new
        parser.string = xml
        doc = parser.parse
        p doc.root.content

The first part sets xml to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<node>\1</node>

Where \1 is the byte 1.


Entity: line 2:
parser
error :
internal error
<node></node>

The second part tries to parse this. But libxml gives this error on the call to Parser.parse:

The first thing to figure out is if the output is correct:

1.  Find some xml editor that let's you write this to disk.
2.  Then run the code above but save the file to disk
3.  Compare the results.
4.  Then compare the files to Ruby's in memory string (looking at the bytes.

I see the same thing. Its hard to know where things are going wrong. Do you have time to dig into this? Either there will be an error in the string, or if not, then the error must be happening in the translation of the string back to libxml.
