german umlaut!
hi cocooners!
has anybody a proper solution for involving german umlaute in a
cocoon-framework?
i have some ideas like
1. writing the umlauts in unicode (so creating a pdf via fop will cause
no problems)
2. writing them in tex-style like "u or "o an exchange them later in
every xsl-file
3. using extra-markups like <uml></uml>
i don't know. are there any solutions which had been tested already?
does anybody know a comfortable solution?
Auf bald

Check TOMCAT / CATALINA / APP Server settings: for example:
CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1
I'm not sure if this over-rides the settings, I would assume the xml
file or more specific config should over-ride, but you might want to
check what your App Server is configured /defaulted to.

Re: xsp:element root element bug?-> solved! Thanks Vadim.
Posted by Sanne de Roever <sa...@newfoundland.nl>.
Hi Vadim,
Thanks, that worked!
A already had an alternate solution using a fake <root>
element which was stripped by an xsl transformation.
This is better though!
Kind regards,
Sanne

xsp:element root element bug?
Posted by Sanne de Roever <sa...@newfoundland.nl>.
Hi,
I've been using the xsp:element, and xsp:attribute tags with succes when
creating svg.
But now I would like to wrap the root element svg in such a tag, so I can
adjust the width and height.
The could/should be like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsp:page language="java"
xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"
xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0"
>
<xsp:element name="svg">
<xsp:attribute name="width">500</xsp:attribute>
<xsp:attribute name="height">500</xsp:attribute>
<xsp:element name="path">
<xsp:attribute name="fill">none</xsp:attribute>
<xsp:attribute name="d">M 100,200 z</xsp:attribute>
</xsp:element>
<xsp:element name="text">
<xsp:attribute name="transform">matrix(1 0 0 1 0 26)</xsp:attribute>
Hello world
</xsp:element>
</xsp:element>
</xsp:page>
My own svg is more complex, but the bottom line is that using an xsp:element
tag for a root element doesn't work.
Could this be a bug?

Sanne

Wolle,
I was trying to reproduce your issue but failed. Can you put together
small test case with short XML file, sitemap snippet, actual text
output, and desired text output, and send this as an (zip) attachement?
Thanks,

hi everybody!
thank you very much for the help. but i still have the problem.
the html and pdf output is ok. as soon as i produce text-output i get
UTF-8 code although i forced cocoon to produce iso 8859-1 by using:
<map:serializer logger="sitemap.serializer.text" mime-type="text/text"
name="text" src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.TextSerializer">
<encoding>iso-8859-1</encoding>
</map:serializer>
the saved text-file is indeed UTF-8 coded because the unix-command 'file'
confirms the result.
right now i am using a workaround by reencoding the saved file
via: 'recode UTF-8 file.txt'
i tested for quite a long time. this is a working solution without cocoon
2.0.3.
maybe there is more luck with cocoon 2.1.

No. It is probably outputting UTF-8. I think you can choose the

hi!
thanks for the many suggestions.
i tried the following solution:
*
*4. Use a proper encoding declaration which matches the actual
* encoding of the file. For example, most platforms setup for
* a german language environment use ISO-8859-1, and usually
* editors use this as the default encoding. Placing
* <?xml version="1.0" encodign="ISO-8859-1"?>
* at the beginning of each XML file (XSLT is XML too) allows you
* to use native encoded umlauts.
this works great producing pdf.
but i still have a problem:
as soon as i try to get an output as txt-file (e.g. on a web-browser or
saving the content in a file) the german umlaut produced by the ue/oe keys
are produced wrong (e.g. ue as A1/4). but all encodings in the xml/xsl
file are correct. even the settings of the webbrowser are correct.
the aim is to produce a proper text-output for latex.
is the text-ouput of cocoon broken?

You can read the XML spec for some hints, or check some other
publishing systems, like DocBook.

4. Use a proper encoding declaration which matches the actual
encoding of the file. For example, most platforms setup for
a german language environment use ISO-8859-1, and usually
editors use this as the default encoding. Placing
<?xml version="1.0" encodign="ISO-8859-1"?>
at the beginning of each XML file (XSLT is XML too) allows you
to use native encoded umlauts.
5. Use numerical character references, for example ” for ö.
You can place any unicode character in any XML file which has
an encoding which is a superset of ASCII.
The Unicode consortium has convenient tables for lookin up
characters online at
http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html
6. Get a DTD with entity definitions for some characters, like
a stripped down DocBook, or the HTML definitions (from
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html)
and use the aliases defined there, for example ö for ö.
