[WINEHQ] Lots of buggy < and >

Thu Jul 28 06:06:13 CDT 2005

Reading WWN 284 I noticed the following line:

> stabilizing for release &.

And sure enough the source XML is buggy:

> stabilizing for release &amp;&lt;g&amp;&gt;.

I believe the intent was the following to deal with the double parsing:

> stabilizing for release &amp;lt;g&amp;gt;.

But really this double parsing is a major pain. Can't we get rid of it?
Because it's causing a lot of bugs:

$ egrep "&lt;.*&gt;" wwn/*.sgml | grep -v "who=" | wc -l
190

And it's not just missing grins either. For instance in WWN 125:

> gdb &lt;gdb remote protocol&gt; winedbg &lt;Win32 debug API&gt; wineserver

and all the reader sees is:

> gdb  winedbg  wineserver

which is totally wrong of course.

And in WWN 149:

> #include &lt;comcat.h&gt; <br />
> #include &lt;oaidl.h&gt;<br />
> #include &lt;objbase.h&gt;<br />
> #include &lt;objidl.h&gt;<br />
...

all the reader sees is:
> #include
> #include
> #include
> #include
...

Not very informative!
