Yesterday I asked a C language guru and he said that & has nothing to do w/ C.
I think that there are 2 possibilities 1) The "&" has not been properly escaped from the DocBook perspective. This is a possibility because the program listing is not in CDATA 2) It could be an HTML thing http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/special.html Perhaps there are other possibilities ? -----Original Message----- From: Bob Stayton [mailto:b...@sagehill.net] Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2010 4:40 PM To: Robert Lucente; docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Annotating program listings - Callouts - Chapter 27. Program listings - minor / nit typo ? Hi Robert, Thanks for taking the time to comment. No, it isn't a typo. The programlisting is not in a CDATA section, so any XML characters like & must be escaped as character entities. That character is intended to be a literal ampersand in the program listing. If you are asking me if the code itself makes sense with an ampersand, I can't answer that. I just cut and pasted it from somewhere. 8^) Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises b...@sagehill.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Lucente To: docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2010 12:25 PM Subject: [docbook-apps] Annotating program listings - Callouts - Chapter 27. Program listings - minor / nit typo ? url: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/AnnotateListing.html#Callouts The program listing has virtual int parse(MyFetch &fetcher) = 0; I think that "&" is a typo in the above line of code ? This has probably already been found but just in case.
