Public bug reported:
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, x85_64, fully patched. I'm using DocBook to build
a PDF. One of the steps I use in my build script is to validate and format the
XML using xmllint from libxml2-utils
2.9.13+dfsg-1ubuntu0.3:
echo "Validating book..."
if ! xmllint --xinclude --noout --postvalid book.xml
then
echo "Validation failed. Exiting."
exit 1
fi
echo "Complete."
echo "Formatting source code..."
for file in *.xml
do
if xmllint --format "${file}" --output "${file}.format"
then
mv "${file}.format" "${file}"
fi
done
echo "Complete."
When I added an emdash (—) the book failed to format:
Validating book...
Complete.
Formatting source code...
ch02.xml:58: parser error : Entity 'mdash' not defined
injections are remediated using several methods. And two output devices
—
^
ch02.xml:58: parser error : Entity 'mdash' not defined
methods. And two output devices — the printer and plaintext email
—
^
Complete.
The text is:
<para>... And two output devices — the printer and plaintext
email — do not require...</para>
It seems like emdash should be recognized.
