But speaking of HaXml bugs, I'm pretty sure HaXml doesn't handle % correctly. It seem to treat % specially everywhere, but I think it is only special inside DTDs. I have many XML files produced by other tools that the HaXml parser fails to process because of this.
Indeed. This is an area that I found required a fair amount of work on the version of HaXML I was playing with, some time ago. The change log at the end of: http://www.ninebynine.org/Software/HaskellUtils/HaXml-1.12/src/Text/XML/HaXm... has some clues to what I had to do. Notably: [[ -- Revision 1.12 2004/06/04 21:59:13 graham -- Wortk-in-progress: creating intermediate filter to handle parameter -- entity replacement. Separated common features from parse module. -- Created new module based on simplified use of parsing utilities -- to dtect and substitute PEs. The result is a modifed token sequence -- passed to the main XML parser. ]] The parameter entity filter is defined by: http://www.ninebynine.org/Software/HaskellUtils/HaXml-1.12/src/Text/XML/HaXm... The parameter and entity entity handling aspect of the code was not pretty, due mainly to the somewhat quirky nature of XML syntax, especially concerning parameter and general entities. #g -- Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
