Re: [dotNetRDF-develop] [dotNetRDF-bugs] Notation3Writer not escaping double quotes

[Rob V. <rv...@do...>]

Hi Tana

Thanks for the feedback

This behaviour of the Notation3Writer is by design, while quotes should be escaped in a normal literal e.g.

"Normal literal with a \"quote\" in it" 

They are not required to be escaped in a long literal (though they may be escaped), for example the official test suite for the Turtle syntax (which is a subset of Notation 3) includes a test which uses unescaped quotes in a long literal e.g.

"""A long literal with unescaped "quotes" is acceptable"""

If you are aware of other libraries/parsers which won't properly handle such literals then I would be happy to change this behaviour for future releases.

By the way I released version 0.2.2 just over a week ago which contains some minor bug fixes and some major SPARQL optimisations which you might want to upgrade to.

Best regards,
Rob Vesse

Subject: [dotNetRDF-bugs] Notation3Writer not escaping double quotes 

Hi there, 




Loving your work :-).  




Got a problem though using v0.2.1.24471: 




When a graph contains a literal node that contains double quotes the quotes aren't escaped by the Notation3Writer. 




E.g.  




... 


graph.CreateLiteralNode("This is some text \"That contains quotes\""); 


. 




Outputs  """ This is some text  "That contains quotes""""; 




I believe it should output  """ This is some text \ "That contains quotes\""""; 




Cheers, 


Tana Isaac
