Description Bryce Harrington 2007-12-30 14:47:25 UTC

When doing an import from openclipart via Inkscape for example, we see:

search for "lion" - no list is shown, the console shows:

/tmp/ocalfeed.xml:73: parser error : Entity 'uuml' not defined
      <content:encoded>Coat of arms of Russion, Z&uuml;rich, Switzerland</conten

This constitutes a good share of all ocal searches, so it makes this feature almost useless in Inkscape.  It's extremely high priority for Inkscape 0.46.

Unfortunately this is an ocal bug rather than an Inkscape bug; entites like &uuml; etc. are specific to HTML and don't exist in XML. If the OCAL uses them then it needs to define the values for those entities in an internal DTD subset.

Closing all openclipart bugs as openclipart is now on launchpad, as per request from  Jon Philips.
