[docbook-apps] passivetex, <ulink url="...&amp;..."/>

[Tim Waugh <twaugh at redhat dot com>]

Hi,

This document:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
 "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"; >
 
<book>
<chapter><title>First chapter</title>
<para>
<ulink url="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=passivetex";>
Google</ulink> for passivetex.
</para>
</chapter>
</book>

produces errors when converted to XSL-FO and processed by xmltex.  I'm
using docbook-xsl-1.61.2, xmltex-20000118, and passivetex-1.24 (1.25
seems to act the same).

The error (with \setcounter{errorcontextlines}{999}) is:

     <5:basic-link
 
         0:external-destination = "url(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q
=passivetex)"  >

                                                  \xmlgrab
l.3 ...google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=passivetex)">

I haven't found any other references to this problem.  Has no-one
tried to use PassiveTeX with a DocBook document containing a ulink
like this before?

Obviously, taking '&amp;' out of the URL lets xmltex complete.. but
ruins the URL.

Tim.
