slachiewicz opened a new issue, #159:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-doxia-converter/issues/159
Converting xdoc containing a raw `<object>` element to Markdown drops the
element entirely, with no error and no trace in the output beyond a log line —
the same event-dropping behavior already known for `<map>`/`<area>` image maps.
### Reproduction
xdoc input:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<document>
<properties><title>T</title><author>A B</author></properties>
<body>
<section name="S">
<p><object type="image/svg+xml" data="x.svg"/></p>
<p>Text after the object.</p>
</section>
</body>
</document>
```
Converting with `doxia-converter` (built from master, `2.1.0` doxia
dependency):
```
$ java -jar doxia-converter-shaded.jar -in input.xml -from xdoc -out
output.md -to markdown -outEncoding UTF-8
[main] WARN org.apache.maven.doxia.module.markdown.MarkdownSink - Unknown
source, line 6, column 54: Unknown Sink event 'object', ignoring!
[main] WARN org.apache.maven.doxia.module.markdown.MarkdownSink - Unknown
source, line 6, column 54: Unknown Sink event 'object', ignoring!
```
Output:
```markdown
---
title: T
author:
- A B
---
# S
Text after the object.
```
The `<object>` element (and everything it referenced, e.g. an embedded SVG
diagram) is gone from the converted page with no visible marker that content
was lost. `<properties>` metadata converts correctly here (fenced YAML front
matter), so that part of this fixture is fine.
### Context
This came up while investigating apache/maven-doxia#1086 (Markdown's
raw-HTML parser leaves a self-closing non-void tag like `<object .../>`
unclosed, which is what broke https://maven.apache.org/scm.html —
apache/maven-site#1645, fixed site-side by apache/maven-site#1652). That
symptom doesn't reproduce through this converter's xdoc→markdown path, because
`<object>` never survives the conversion to reach that bug — it's dropped here
instead. Any xdoc page relying on `<object>` (SVG embeds, applets, etc.) needs
the same manual re-paste treatment as the known image-map drop.
