Hi all, here at ADS we have a problem with some metadata that contain CDATA elements. The problem is caused by the export procedure of Invenio that doesn't properly encode these elements.
What happens is that all the elements like '<![CDATA[ foobar ]]>' are converted to '<![CDATA[ foobar ]]>' and this in XML is an error. After reading a very similar discussion from 2010 (started by Benoit), I suppose that the problem is still in invenio.textutils.encode_for_xml() which is used in bibformat_utils.record_get_xml(). I honestly don't understand why all the tags inside a subflield are not escaped (but I suppose there is a good reason) but in case of CDATA the tag should be completely escaped. Thanks for your help, Giovanni -------------------------------------------------------------- Giovanni Di Milia IT Specialist at SAO/NASA ADS Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics 60 Garden Street, MS 83 Cambridge, MA 02138 USA email: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------
