Description Matthew Casperson 2014-05-07 01:30:26 UTC 
Add the following field to a spec:

Copyright Holder = Red Hat, Inc

When the book is built, you'll get this

Copyright © 2014 Red Hat, Inc.

We should get this

Copyright © 2014 Red Hat, Inc.

Comment 2 Lee Newson 2014-05-13 07:48:26 UTC 
Fixed in 1.6-SNAPSHOT build 201405131741

This was caused by escaping all "&" characters as "&". This meant the value in the entity file was "Red Hat, Inc". This has now been updated to remove entities first and then do the replacement.

When using built in entities (like   or >) or entities defined in the Entities metadata field in the Copyright Holder metadata field, everything works as expected.

When using entities that don't exist (e.g. Copyright Holder = &NON_EXISTANT;), csprocessor will build the book ok, but Publican won't compile it. 

An error should be generated when the spec is saved for malformed metadata elements.
Comment 5 Lee Newson 2014-05-22 06:03:32 UTC 
That's a separate bug and applies to more than Copyright Holder, as such I've opened BZ#1100139 to handle that. Moving this back to ON_QA since that isn't related to this bug, as this is about making sure entities in copyright holder aren't escaped when built.
Comment 6 Matthew Casperson 2014-05-22 22:45:07 UTC 
Added entities to Title, Subtitle, Product, Abstract and Copyright Holder. All built ok.
