Re: entities in generated HTML from xdoc-plugin

[Paul Libbrecht]

The thing is... all entities in HTML are actually real entities as in 
XML... and   is just another one... I forget which Unicode 
character number it is and can't seem to find it but using jEdit's 
entities to characters does print me a space... looking at W3C's HTML 4 
specs (and certainly XHTML) should probably provide it to you...

The only trick remaining is encoding... Although I've seen some errors 
some time ago the maven b9 seem to be happy with an all-UTF-8 solution 
and generates the appropriate HTML heading.

It is pretty nifty, I find it, to be able to see a non-breaking-space as 
a space instead of these ugly editing-oriented entity. What's needed is 
just a good editor. This was one of my main reason to use jEdit, even on 
Mac where it was pretty slow.

Hi,

I had a look again: If I place   in the JSL script, it actually 
gets printed out, but not as entity. What Mozilla and Camino actually 
disliked in the HTML was that it was written as XML. When I changed the 
outputmode to HTML in the plugin.jelly of the xdoc plugin, everything 
turned out fine. Sorry about the fuss.

Thanks

Hi,
maybe this is the wrong list to ask, apologies if yes.
Currently I working on a site.jsl script for creating webpages in the 
look-and-feel of our internal website. For some obscure layout 
reasons I need to have a   entity in the target HTML document, 
but utterly failed in getting Jelly/JSL to do so.
If I try the following:
<td width="100%" height="51" background="images/bann_mid.gif">
&nbsp;
</td>
Maven bails out with:
BUILD FAILED
null:-1:-1: <null> Could not parse Jelly script


Did you try escaping the & charcter as &amp; entity in the jelly source?
I think it will get written as & in the target document:
<td width="100%" height="51" background="images/bann_mid.gif">
&amp;nbsp;
</td>
