---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: MPXDOC-100
    Summary: XML entities do not render out
       Type: Bug

     Status: Open
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown
 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: maven-xdoc-plugin

   Assignee: Jason van Zyl
   Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship

    Created: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 4:01 PM

Environment: Maven 1.0 rc2, Win XP, JDK 1.4

Description:
I've reported this before ... still broken, months later.

I have a lot of common links stored in an external entity, i.e.:

<!DOCTYPE document [
	<!ENTITY % common-links SYSTEM "../common/links.xml">
	%common-links;
	]>
<document>

links.xml contains a bunch of stuff like this:

<!ENTITY _module '<code>module</code>'>
<!ENTITY module '<a href="&projectroot;descriptor.html#module">&_module;</a>'>

<!ENTITY _implementation 'implementation'>
<!ENTITY implementation '<a href="&projectroot;descriptor.html#implementation">&_implementation;</a>'>

My source .xml file looks like:


The root element of the descriptor is the &module; element.


But renders out like:

The root element of the descriptor is the <A 
href="descriptor.html#module"></A>element.  

I've tried a number of things such as removing the <code> and </code> from &_module; or changing the &_module; reference itself to just module.  Same result.

However,

<!ENTITY module '<a href="&projectroot;descriptor.html#module">&lt;module&gt;</a>'>

renders as:

The root element of the descriptor is the <A 
href="descriptor.html#module">&lt;module&gt;</A> element.
