Description Ruediger Landmann 2013-10-02 05:22:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
Inline tags that are children of <abstract> get processed as plain text when built into the Book_Info.xml file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Specify an inline tag in the "Abstract:" parameter of a topic map. For example:

Abstract: The <citetitle>Foo Guide</title> describes how you...

Actual results:
This gets built into the Book_Info.xml file as:

<abstract><para>
The &lt;citetitle&gt;Foo Guide&lt;/citetitle&gt; describes how you
<para></abstract>

and rendered in HTML as:

The <citetitle>Foo Guide</title> describes how you...

Expected results:
Inline tags are not escaped and render properly.

This used to work and there are a few people using it already so I'm marking this as a regression.

Fixed in 1.2-SNAPSHOT, Build 201310091335

This was caused by the work we did in 1.0 to escape values so that they can be used in XML, as previously using characters such as "&" would have cause a validation error. I've updated abstract so that it will ignore xml elements and only escape < or > when they are on their own.
Comment 4 Matthew Casperson 2013-10-15 00:09:35 UTC 
Tested with invalid XML. Publican throws and error about mismatched tags. Ideally we should have some kind of validation in the CCMS for this, but I think a Publican validation error is sufficient for now.

Tested with 

Abstract = This <citetitle>Foo Guide</citetitle> represents the <emphasis>workflows</emphasis> and methods which generate the best results for <application>CCMS-generated</application> documentation, and should be used as the first point of guidance for using PressGang CCMS

Abstract was displayed correctly.
