Package: xmltex
Version: 1.9-5
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hi,

when processing Docbook XML files with xmlto (and thus xsltproc and
finally pdfxmltex), pdfxmltex barfs on XML element attributes which
contain an ampersand ("&amp;"). 

Test case document:

========================================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<!DOCTYPE section PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
     "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";>
<section>
  <title>Test Case for PassiveTeX bug</title>
    <para>
        <ulink url="http://xx.yy/?foo=bar&amp;blah=blah";>The Ampersand
	breaks things</ulink> - seems it is not escaped.
    </para>
</section>
========================================================================

This gets transformed into an element

<fo:basic-link
  external-destination="http://xx.yy/?foo=bar&amp;blah=blah";>
    The Ampersand breaks things</fo:basic-link>

The ampersand character in the attribute "&amp;" then breaks pdfxmltex
in the middle of analyzine.

Seems to be an upstream problem, as the same problem exists within
Redhat 7.3, not just Debian 3.1.

Simply calling xmlto causes a build failure b/c passivetex is not
available any more. When using dblatex to create the pdf file the
build runs fine. Not sure where in the chain the bug was fixed, but
it is now. Closing.
