(The developers should this message as a feature request: Please make it
possible to not track revisions of the title element.)
When running XMLmind XMLeditor with file revisions enabled, the effect
is that every element, including the title element, gets a PI (e.g.e
<?xxe-sn foo BAR?>) inserted at the start of the element.
The downside of this that if you publish your XHTML file as text/html,
then, due to special parsing rules for the title element, the PI will
show up as part of the content of the title element.
To work around that problem, here is a hack, taking advantage of 1) how
XMLmind XMLeditor works and of 2) how text/html differs from XHTML:
Hack:
0. While in the semantic view (or mode) of XMLmind,
1. insert a style element *before* the document’s title element
2. NOTE: If you do not care about the XHTML output, you may
instead delete the existing title element
3. Inside the above style element, add the following content:
</style><title>Lorem ipsum</title><style>
That’s it! Of course, you must replace "Lorem ipsum" with whatever
your document title is supposed to be. Also, *if* there is already a
title element outside the style element, then you must keep the content
of the title "element" inside the style element in sync with the title
element outside the style element: Otherwise you will get one content
for XHTML and another content for text/html.
The actual output that XMLmind XMLeditor generates with the above hack
in place, will be this one (and I include the title element outside the
style element as well):
<style><?xxe-sn foo BAR?>/*<![CDATA[*/
</style><title>Lorem ipsum.</title><style>
/*]]>*/</style>
<title>Lorem ipsum</title>
This hack relies on the fact that XMLmind XMLeditor inserts
/*<![CDATA[*/ as the first content of of every style element, and
/*]]>*/ as the last content of every style element. This means that all
the content in betweeen, from XML’s point of view is text. However,
from text/html’s point of view the style element ends when it sees the
first endtag </style>.
