Thorsten, a quick question... The first part of my book build script has this:
echo "Validating book..." if ! xmllint --xinclude --noout --postvalid book.xml then echo "Validation failed. Exiting." exit 1 fi echo "Complete." Why did the book pass validation when using emdash entity reference? It seems like that should have failed. An example of the build script can be found at https://github.com/noloader/POWER8-crypto/tree/master/docbook. make- book.sh builds the book, and it includes the snippet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libxml2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020814 Title: xmllint does not recognize emdash (—) Status in libxml2 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, x85_64, fully patched. I'm using DocBook to build a PDF. One of the steps I use in my build script is to validate and format the XML using xmllint from libxml2-utils 2.9.13+dfsg-1ubuntu0.3: echo "Validating book..." if ! xmllint --xinclude --noout --postvalid book.xml then echo "Validation failed.
