Bug ID: 490738
Summary: ellipsis character in doc appears as … in PDF
Skrooge handbook
Classification: Applications
Product: skrooge
Version: Trunk from git
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: steph...@mankowski.fr
Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The three-dot ellipsis '…' in menu commands and lists in the Skrooge
documentation now appears as its numeric HTML entity in the PDF Skrooge
handbook, e.g. the File Menu help in Basic Usage" displays "Change
password…"
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Skrooge Handbook PDF version,
https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/skrooge/skrooge/skrooge.pdf#subsection.3.1.1
2. Search for 8230, or navigate to Using Skrooge > The main menu > The file
menu
OBSERVED RESULT
… appears where the three-dot ellipsis should be:
> Change password…: To change the password
EXPECTED RESULT
See the ellipsis character (or three plain ASCII dots in a row).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
n/a
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is probably a result of commit 8880fae287 which "fix ellipsis character"
to address bug 481226 by changing sequences of three dots to the UTF-8 ellipsis
code point. The HTML version of the handbook,
https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/skrooge/skrooge/using-skrooge-beginner.html#menu-file
, shows the ellipsis code point fine
> Change password…: To change the password. Leave the field empty to remove the
> password
I'm not sure what's happening. I think ellipsis turning into … is the
only HTML entity in the PDF. Other UTF-8 characters like "-500€ per month" and
"Stéphane" in index.docbook work fine. It's probably something going wrong in
the KF5DocTools machinery.
