RE: non utf-8 editor or xindice bug

"The doctype definition isn't in the document too after saving."
this currently is always the case with xindice.  DTDs are stripped from the
serialized data.  I think there is a version now in cvs (specifically in the
scratchpad area) of xindice that uses a different XML Serializer.  It may
actually store DTDs properly.  I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Subject: non utf-8 editor or xindice bug


Hi,

Does anyone know of an utf-8 compliant tool to manage xindice?

i just tried Atrezzo/eclipse.... it looked nice and then i inserted an xsl
file with some german umlaute like ä or "�". I had the following
doctype definition within.

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
        <!ENTITY nl "&#10;">
        <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
        <!ENTITY auml "&#228;">
        <!ENTITY ouml "&#246;">
        <!ENTITY uuml "&#252;">
        <!ENTITY amp  "&#38;">
        ]>

everything worked fine, it was saved and when i retrieved it all &auml;
where replaced by the german character "�" so i think "�" is part of utf-8.
but when i wanna save this file again. all "�" are being replaced by "?".
The doctype definition isn't in the document too after saving.

I can't believe if xindice gives me a document, i can't save it again. there
has to be a bug. or atrezzo is non utf-8 compliant editor, but i saw this
behavior with my own editor which is working ofer xmlrpc and php.

Please i'm so desperate, is there any bugfix for xindice or can anyone tell
me where i can fix it myself?
