Re: [Plplot-devel] Problem with SGML entity not defined

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Joao, could you please try a fresh checkout to see whether my recent commit
will solve the parsing problem on your system?

I found an error in the stanza in question.  Reference was made to
plplotdoc.xml.in rather than the correct plplotdoc.xml.  The principal
difference between the two is DOCTYPE (the key to finding system files
required by sgml/xml applications and libraries) is configured so that
plplotdoc.xml is the file where this is defined properly. The only way this
could have worked before when using plplotdoc.xml.in for Debian is if there
is a broad default set of entities defined when no DOCTYPE is specified. But
I think it is much better to define the DOCTYPE like is done now.  If this
is still incomplete (Rafael, would you check this please?), then I suggest
the required DOCTYPE lines should be configured in plplotdoc.xml so that
api2text.pl has a chance to work correctly on all systems.

Alan
