Hello,
I think I found a bug in the htmlprag module in guile-lib. When parsing attributes, the values are not properly decoded: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- scheme@(guile-user)> ,use (htmlprag) scheme@(guile-user)> (html->sxml "<hr aaa=\"bbb"ccc'ddd\" />") $1 = (*TOP* (hr (@ (aaa "bbb"ccc'ddd")))) scheme@(guile-user)> (html->sxml "<a href=\"a&b\" />") $2 = (*TOP* (a (@ (href "a&b")))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I think that $1 should be "bbb\"ccc'ddd" and $2 should be "a&b". The annoying part is that this cannot really be changed now, because people (me included) already have workarounds in place, and automatically decoding now would lead to double decoding. I see few ways forward: 1. Document the current behavior and keep it as it is. 2. Add argument #:decode-attributes, defaulting to #f, to the relevant procedures, so that people can opt into the fixed behavior. 3. Introduce parameter %decode-attributes, so that people can opt into the fixed behavior. I am sure there are also other approaches possible. Have a nice day, Tomas -- There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.
