[htdig-dev] (Attn: Geoff) Re: Numbered HTML Entities mangled in Result Blurbs

Ok here is what I have found: The &#XXX; entities are OK inside the db files They are munged improperly during htsearch display of the excerpt. ResultFetch::hilight is the driving function and it calls HtSGMLCodec::instance()->decode(s) which does the improper conversion ™ --> &#153; I think that this change to HtSGMLCodec.h looks important: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/htdig/htdig/htcommon/HtSGMLCodec.h?r1=1.1&r2=1.1.2.1 Tue Mar 28 04:06:34 2000 UTC (3 years, 7 months ago) by ghutchis "Differentiate between codec used for &foo; and numeric form &#nnn; Make sure encoding goes through both but decoding only goes through the preferred text form." This part of the code is pretty cheese-whizzy, so attention Geoff! Any insights? I am assuming that at some point this worked properly. I'll pound on it some more tommorow.. it looks like the populated replacements array in the myTextWordCodec object of the singleton HtSGMLCodec object is improperly done, or there is some problem in the order of calls. HtSGMLCodec.cc 29 // Similar to the HtWordCodec class. Each string may contain 30 // zero or more of words from the lists. Here we need to run 31 // it through two codecs because we might have two different forms 32 inline String encode(const String &uncoded) const 33 { return myTextWordCodec->encode(myNumWordCodec->encode(uncoded)); } 34 35 // But we only want to decode into one form i.e. &foo; NOT &#nnn; 36 String decode(const String &coded) const 37 { return myTextWordCodec->decode(coded); } Intuitively I would think that if encode is as above, that decode should be the reverse of encode: return myNumWordCodec->decode(myTextWordCodec->decode(coded)); But this makes the problem worse! &#XXX; --> &amp;XXX; Thanks.
