Well, the problem here was with the chapter?.xml files. With your files I
get the same result as you, but when changing their content to:
<chapter><title>ch.1</title>
<para>content 1</para>
</chapter>
I get this (mad) output po file:
...
# type: <title></title>
#: a.xml:12 chapter2.xml:1
msgid "ch.1"
msgstr ""
# type: <para></para>
#: a.xml:12 chapter2.xml:1
msgid "content 1"
msgstr ""
# type: <title></title>
#: chapter1.xml:1
msgid "ch.2"
msgstr ""
# type: <para></para>
#: chapter1.xml:1
msgid "content 2"
msgstr ""
# type: </chapter><chapter>
#: chapter2.xml:1
msgid "&aaa; &chap3; &bbb;"
msgstr ""
# type: </chapter></book>
msgid "&ccc; &aaa;"
msgstr ""
It seems that when inserting the content of the included file, it's parsed
in the main file, and it gets this behavior (and the wrong type lines).
Yes, it is inlined in the main document before parsing. It is needed to take
care of the conditional inclusions. Yes, the reference is a bit wrong in
that case. There is a fuzziness of a few lines. I dunno where it comes from,
and that's #300589 on alioth.
But I don't get why you say it's a mad file. The type lines are perfectly
valid. Take "&aaa; &chap3; &bbb;", for example. It is placed out of
any tag,
and ends to be between a "</chapter>" and a "<chapter>".
So, that's not po4a
which is wrong with the type line, that's the file which is wrongly
formated... If you do not agree, what would be a valid file for you ?
Also, I don't like the substitution of the content here:
"&chap0; [content of chapt1] [content of chapt2] &aaa; &chap3; &bbb;
[content "
"of chapt1] &ccc; &aaa;"
As you see, the content of chapter1 appears twice (must be translated
twice). Instead of this, I think that inclusion entities should be treated
like the substitution entities (the content is translated once, and their
appearances should be left as they are): &aaa; appears twice in this
msgid, and its content is only translated once.
Yes, but it only comes from the fact that this example is very very (very)
artificial. When you do unsane stuff such as creating only one file
containing only a few words (ie, using a file to render the functionnality
of substitution entities) such as I did in this example, you cannot expect
to get sane results, can you ?
In regular use, each file will contain a bunch of tags, which will thus be
parsed separately. Moreover, I'd prefer not to care about people including
the same file twice in the same master document. That's insane.
Now I've still tried to complicate it a little more. I've
tried to put
some tags into a substitution entity (I've used it in real documents) and
then, the entity disappears from the generated po.
Sure, if there is only one tag per substitution entity, the optimisation
applies. If it's not the case, please come up with some example ;)
Bye, Mt.
