[Gaim-devel] gtkimhtml should be given content of escape-sequenced.

[Kang Jeong-H. <Ke...@ma...>]

Hi.

ATM, gtk_imhtml_append_text() given chunks of text;
I'd giving a try my nick of "<BR>" included.
and gtkimhtml parsed the BR tag newline.
this is out of expect.

every plain (not gaim-generated) strings have to escape-sequenced.
and gtk_imhtml_append_text() have to decode them to plain.

regard.

ps. should I do post this memo to sf.net's bug page?

gtkimhtml parses AOL RTF--any string that gets _append_texted to it will
be parsed and rendered.  The bug I think you're trying to explain
doesn't exist.

Is is possible to escape strings so they don't get rendered.  &lt;br>
would show a <br>, for example.  Gaim does not do this automatically.

I don't think so.

I'm sure that there's the kind of buggy rendering like this;
I've confirmed for the s/<br>/newline/g rendering, with msn.
do you want screenshot?

and gtkimhtml is not responsible for the escape for string.
the caller of gtkimhtml should escape the string,
and gtkimhtml just unescape the given string after parsing process.

pliz concern.
thanks.

ps.
9/21 is 8/15 lunar calender. that is celebration for Asian races,
similar to Thanks Giving Day of US.
people takes a break and meet their familys.
cheers for celebration!

That's what I thought you meant.  Why would you put a <BR> in there
unnless you wanted this behavior?  This is not a bug.

-s.

No, I don't agree with you.
users may do whatever they wants.
and agent like gaim should process the right thing for whichever they did.
and gaim possibly do the right thing.
