Re: [xwiki-users] Problems w/ displaying HTML Entities as Plaintext
Thank you very much, Vincent and Sergiu! Sergiu, the workaround you suggested is perfect. But you were right, it was quite a bunch of work :-) One more question came up: Shall I share this piece of information as a FAQ on xwiki.org? I'm not sure, because the XWiki 2.0 Syntax offers a more efficient workaround for versions 1.7 and up. Hence, the workaround for older versions might be outdated. What do you think?

Glad it worked for you. You could add it as a FAQ entry indeed and mention that it's for XWiki Syntax 1.0.

Re: [xwiki-users] Problems w/ displaying HTML Entities as Plaintext
Hi,
I've just tried your example:
{code}
!ENTITY Auml #196
{code}
And it worked well:
http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Test/VMA
(note: this link will be reset tomorrow but just edit the page and
copy the input to recreate it)
Thanks

Hey everyone,
While using XWiki version 1.1.2.5797 to document some software, the
following problem occurred:
I tried to insert snippets of a XSL file into a XWiki page using a
{code}
macro. As far as I know this macro treats input as plaintext, which
would
be exactly what I need. However, it turned out to work differently. It
parsed HTML entities, so instead of displaying inputs like
lt;!ENTITY Auml quot;amp;#196;quot;gt;
exactly as they are, the HTML parts are parsed to
!ENTITY Auml #196;
Having failed with the {code} macro, I tried {pre} and \, but none
of them
worked. The same problem occurred when I used XWiki 1.7 which is
running
on a test server in the company I work for. Does anyone of you know
how to
make XWiki display HTML and XML entities as plaintext?
I could not find anything about this problem in the documentation, the
FAQ, or in the mailing list archive. Did I simply miss something?
Since I
read some threads about issues with the WYSIWYG editor, let me add
that I
use the XWiki editor, not the WYSIWYG editor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Sascha

No, that's not the problem. He tried to enter:
{code}
lt;!ENTITY Auml quot;amp;#196;quot;gt;
{code}
which was displayed as
!ENTITY Auml #196
and not as
lt;!ENTITY Auml quot;amp;#196;quot;gt;
Which means that we do escape and , but no . Do we want that? Is
it
something all users want and need? I'll be -1 for changing this, since
it will break non-UTF instances that need to print non-ISO-8859-1
symbols in a {code} block.
Sascha, you could double-escape, like in:
{code}
amp;lt;!ENTITY Auml amp;quot;amp;amp;#196;amp;quot;amp;gt;
{code}
I know it's more hard work, but it's a working workaround.
Another solution is to use XWiki 2.0 syntax (available since 1.7M1)
which supports full escaping.
See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax
