Re: [Digester] HTML entity decoding?

[Paul Libbrecht]

Hello Otis,




Here's a text pointing to such a DTD:
  
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/dtd_module_defs.html#a_xhtml_character_entities


However you get the entity-expansion.

For the second form you'll need to hook a DTD to do so. A DTD declaration in your header pointing to a DTD which defines these entities I am no expert in Digester but I believe that it is the only way to do so. At least according to the XML specs. Note that opening the file with a validating parser will certainly grumble about all sorts of undeclared elements, this is ok, it does not prevent parsing but is, indeed, a validation error. Note that using the first form, which contains an *escaped* entity, there's nothing to do! You'd have to match them manually ("re- entrantly") into a parser that parses entities properly. PS: I would feel lucky not to have been blown away the XML parsing in the second case as a normal XML parser does: missing entity declaration means unparseable XML while missing element declaration means much less a dangerous thing.

Hello,

I'm using Digester 2.0 and trying to process XML that
may include HTML entities and trying to get Digester to decode them
when parsing.

For example, my XML contains:
 <name><![CDATA[Gr&uuml;ber]]></name>

Currently, Digester is parses this as:  Gr&uuml;ber


How do I tell Digester to decode HTML entities?

Also, if I don't use CDATA, like this:
 <name>Gr&uuml;ber</name>

Digester gives me: Grber

But what I am really after is "Grüber", so I am looking for a way to get this ü entity decoded by Digester.
