Description Dana Mison 2009-11-23 08:46:40 UTC
Description of problem:

If I use <programlisting><xi:include href="extras/example.xml"  parse="text"/></programlisting> to pull in a .xml file from extras/ the XML file is included and does not cause a docbook error.  However the XML file is modified, the same as the XML files in the parent directory.  

My understanding was that files in extras/ were untouched.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
publican-jboss-1.0-0.el5
publican-ovirt-1.0-0.el5
publican-gimp-1.0-0.el5
perl-Publican-WebSite-1.0-0.el5
publican-1.2-0.el5
publican-redhat-internal-1.0-1.el5
publican-WebSite-obsoletes-1.14-1.el5
publican-fedora-1.0-0.el5
publican-doc-1.2-0.el5
publican-redhat-1.0-0.el5.t1


How reproducible:
every time 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an XML file in extras/ eg. example.xml with the content:
<juddi-users>
    <user userid="anou_mana" password="password" />
    <user userid="bozo" password="clown" />
    <user userid="sviens" password="password" />
</juddi-users>

2. <programlisting language="XML"><xi:include href="extras/example.xml"  parse="text" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude/></programlisting>
3. publican build --formats=html --langs=en-US
  
Actual results:

programlisting appears as:

<?xml version='1.' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE juddi-users PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd" [
<!ENTITY % BOOK_ENTITIES SYSTEM "../jUDDI_User_Guide.ent">
%BOOK_ENTITIES;
]>
<juddi-users lang="en-US"><user password="password" userid="anou_mana"></user><user password="clown" userid="bozo"></user><user password="password" userid="sviens"></user></juddi-users>


Expected results:

<juddi-users>
    <user userid="anou_mana" password="password" />
    <user userid="bozo" password="clown" />
    <user userid="sviens" password="password" />
</juddi-users>

Other Info:
Current workaround is to use a different file extension for XML files.

I am fairly certain this might have been working correctly in a previous version, but I do not have any earlier versions installed to verify now.  I do remember testing it, but never actually updated any of my books to use it, so it could well have been a dream. ;-)
