Re: [basex-talk] Parsing entities

In response to the question below, yes, I could do a replace on the string and exchange   for  , but then what would I do about the hundred-plus *other* character entity references? Like ” or —? TinyMCE uses the HTML entity references and there are lots of them. I can't rewrite TinyMCE, and searching and replacing for all of these is going to be a bear.

There must be some way to get the parser to accept the HTML entities.

I intend to create a DTD for my data anyway, and I can simply include the HTML entities in that. How do I set the database to test against a DTD (as the default namespace)?

Thanks!

I'm having trouble using XHTML generated by TinyMCE in a BaseX database.

I get the error: The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared.

OK, I understand that it doesn't parse entities automatically. I need to add a DTD.

So I have a setup like this:

In a file called catalog.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<catalog prefer="system" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/" rewritePrefix="file:///var/www/xxx/content/dtds/" />

</catalog>

In /var/www/xxx/content/dtds/ I have a file called xhtml1-strict.dtd which is exactly what it says it is (downloaded from the W3C).

Now I need to add the DOCTYPE to my database. But how?

I create this database via a web interface using Vaadin (a bunch of forms, tables, etc. Then I just do XQuery inserts, deletes, etc. There are no XML documents. It's all done piecemeal.

My root node is <data>. Some of my nodes have a <content> node that contains XHTML:

<data> <remarks> <remark id='1'> <name>Test Remark</name> <content> <p>This contains a &nbsp; non-breaking space!</p> </content> </remark> </remarks> </data>

How do I add the DTD? How do I indicate that it should be applied to the contents of the <content> node only? How can I do that without adding namespaces to all the XHTML tags?

Can anyone provide a brief example?

By the way, when I connect to the database I do this:

val session = new ClientSession("localhost", 1984, "admin", "x")

session.setOutputStream(System.out)

session.execute("SET CATFILE /var/www/xxx/catalog.xml")
session.execute("SET CHOP off")
session.execute("SET INTPARSE on")
session.execute("SET ENTITY on")
session.execute("SET PATHINDEX on")
session.execute("SET TEXTINDEX on")
session.execute("SET ATTRINDEX on")
session.execute("SET FTINDEX on")
session.execute("SET WILDCARDS on")
session.execute("SET DIACRITICS on")
session.execute("INFO")

Thanks!
