Bug#475594: command line file1 influences file2
X-Debbugs-Cc: liam@htmlhelp.com
Package: wdg-html-validator
Version: 1.6.2-6
File: /usr/bin/validate
If one gives more than one file on the command line, it's doctype ends
up influencing the processing of subsequent files.
If the program was correct, then no matter what order the files are
given, the results should be the same.
$ set comp/configuration/index.html index_en.html
$ validate -w $1 $2|head -n 2
*** Errors and warnings validating index_en.html: ***
index_en.html:82:5:W: comment in parameter separator
$ validate -w $2 $1|head -n 2
$ grep DOC $@
comp/configuration/index.html:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
index_en.html:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
Bug seen when one uses -w.
By the way, there is no line 82 so it is really off its rocker.
