#5434 closed defect (fixed)

Doc build fails on first run when using Unicode symbol entities

Description

The goal is to use Unicode symbols (specifically, in `reference_relationship.xml':

ST_Crosses(A, B) ⇔ (dim( I(A) ∩ I(B) ) < max( dim(I(A), I(B) ))) ∧ (a ∩ b ≠ a) ∧ (a ∩ b ≠ b)

On a clean install (running) autogen and then configure) the doc build fails:

make chunked-html

reference_relationship.xml:624: parser error : Entity 'hArr' not defined

If I remove the symbols, make chunked-html again, add the symbols back, and make again - it works.

The failing command is:

grep -v '\&postgis_special;' postgis-out.xml | /usr/bin/xsltproc —novalid —path /usr/src/postgis/postgis/doc:/usr/src/postgis/postgis/doc -o list_3d_functions.xsl.xml xsl/list_3d_functions.xml.xsl -

Properly encode dependencies of $XSL_GENERATED_SOURCES

Using a unicode character (utf8-encoded) like ⇔ instead of the entity seems to work fine for me

This change now causes every run to fail on the Unicode entities.

Closing as use of utf8 made it always pass, feel free to reopen otherwise
