Description Murray McAllister 2008-10-03 06:50:58 UTC 
Created attachment 319323 [details]
"1" characters in links (PDF output)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.2 (Tikanga)
* publican-0.37-0.el5
* fop-0.95-0.2.beta1.rh1.el5
* saxon-6.5.5-1jpp.3.el5
* evince-0.6.0-8.el5

How reproducible:
Always, when using "svn co http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/selinuxguide"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. svn co http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/selinuxguide
2. cd selinuxguide/community/trunk/SELinux_User_Guide
3. make pdf-en-US
4. See page 4
  
Actual results:
* "1" characters inserted into links (see attached).
* clicking on the link takes you to the correct page (no "1" characters in the link).
* right-click, copy link, also takes you to the correct page (no "1" characters in the link).

Highlighting the link, and then copying, copies the "1" characters, causing the link to fail.
Comment 1 Murray McAllister 2008-10-03 06:54:03 UTC 
Issue occurs in publican-fedora-0.15-0.el5 and publican-redhat-0.15-0.el5. I have not tried anything else.
Comment 2 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2008-10-05 23:16:00 UTC 
There is a bug in the way the URL is being escaped. It may take me some time to get to this as I am working on another system atm.

You can work around this bug by copying the URL in to the tag body.

e.g.

<ulink url="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/selinux/selinux-handbook.xml">http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/selinux/selinux-handbook.xml</ulink>

or

<ulink url="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/selinux/selinux-handbook.xml">Gentoo SELinux Handbook</ulink>

This bug may have existed for sometime since, in my experience, very few people leave the ulink body empty.
Comment 3 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2008-10-08 05:21:57 UTC 
Disabled ulink.hyphenate xsl variable, it was being set to 1.
