Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12065
Parameter sectionText undefined
Last modified: 2008-05-18 00:06:14 UTC
When attempting to retrieve the content.xml file through a webserver and display in a browser, the following message is displayed: Parameter entity must be defined before it is used. Error processing resource 'http://..../drawing.mod'. Line 548, Position 4 %sectionText;)> ---^ This only occurs when using the generated XML files and attempting to display them in a browser. Any ideas what I am missing here? Cheers, Wolfgang
O.k. seems there is a related issue with the office.dtd file. The text.mod entity is defined after the drawing.mod entity, yet the parameter sectionText that is defined in text.mod already shows up in drawing.mod ... <!ENTITY % drawing-mod SYSTEM "drawing.mod"> %drawing-mod; <!ENTITY % text-mod SYSTEM "text.mod"> %text-mod; moving the declaration of text.mod prior to the declaration of drawing.mod solves the issue, it seems ... <!ENTITY % text-mod SYSTEM "text.mod"> %text-mod; <!ENTITY % drawing-mod SYSTEM "drawing.mod"> %drawing-mod; Cheers, Wolfgang
dvo: This issue is known & solved in CVS and current developer builds, but the old (faulty) DTDs still ship with the SRC641 based builds (i.e., all OOo 1.0.x builds). Wolfgang, you have already discovered the usual work-around. The official bug-fix will introduce a seperate file (defs.mod) with definitions used in several other .mod files. If you prefer that, get the current DTDs from the CVS or from the recent SRX644 build. I'll mark this fixed, since it'll be fixed in SRX644 builds (1.1 release). Hope you get by with the work-around in the mean time.
