The entities file we have here has the following preamble

<!-- Portions (C) International Organization for Standardization 1986

and contains more than 500 lines.

It stems most probably from here: https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40-971218/sgml/entities.html

Kind regards,

EPrints 3.4 has has the patch applied for issues with newer versions of LibXML and EPrints 3.4.2 onwards should have this particular issue resolved.  Regarding special characters, I will look into producing (or hopefully finding) an entities.dtd for all the special characters that EPrints repositories may want use and then update standard template and phrase files to use this.  In fact it is probably even worth doing this for citation and workflow files as well.  I have created an issue for EPrints 3.4 to address this:

Hi Thomas,

there should be  an entities.dtd file in [eprints_root]/lib/, maybe this is missing or entries are missing in it?

Also a phrase file should mention that in the

<!DOCTYPE phrases SYSTEM "entities.dtd">

definition right at the beginning after the XML declaration.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hi Thomas,

Named HTML entities are not supported in XML you need to use the decimal code XML entity for &auml; which is &#228;

This is the same as needing to replace things like &amp; and &copy; with their equivalent decimal code XML entities.

Hi all,

any hint where to start digging for reason(s) after following error:
Failed to parse XML file: /usr/share/eprints/site_lib/lang/en/phrases/modified.xml: Entity: line 226: parser error : Entity 'auml' not defined

This error occurs after updating some perl modules ... :(

Is the 'bad' module already known?
What is more effective: Fixing the module (version) or the phrase file?

Thanks for any idea in advance
Thomas
