Hello, Thomas contacted me (one more time, thanks) about an issue on the Sgml module (but Alioth was down - one more time...;). The problem occurs with the maint-guide.sgml file. This file contains a prolog antity: <!ENTITY % default SYSTEM "default.ent"> %default; When po4a-normalized, the content of this entity is re-wrapped on one line (which is probably not an issue, but render the generated document less readable). There is a comment arround line 550 (when the entity is read): # leave those damn references in peace by making sure it fits on one line Then, all the end of lines are replaced by spaces. This is the origin of the problem. I think this comment is wrong. We don't have to keep the references in the prolog. This prolog is translated separately ($prolog is translated, not $orig_file). There are no references for the prolog strings in the PO. Thus, I'll simplify the code and keep the newlines. (I also use tr/\n/\n/ to count the number of lines instead of spliting on newlines, which is faster). I will soon commit a patch. It differs from Thomas' one (attached) - I preferred to fix it earlier in the code. This is mostly for the record (the above explanation is too long for a CVS commit message). Thomas' mail is in French, and is summarized above. (Anybody interrested in a Mail module ?) On Mon, Nov 14, 2005 at 02:34:25PM +0100, Thomas Huriaux wrote: Kind Regards, -- Nekral
