Subject: Incorrect escaping of quotes for HTML labels
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2014 23:23:45 +0100
To: bug-GraphViz2 [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Andrew Beverley <andy [...] andybev.com>
When supplying a HTML label rather than normal label for a node (i.e. quoting with <...> rather than "..."), any double-quotes are incorrectly escaped, which prevents Graphviz processing the file. E.g. label=< <table BORDER="0" CELLBORDER="1" CELLSPACING="0"> ... Becomes label=< <table BORDER=\"0\" CELLBORDER=\"1\" CELLSPACING=\"0\"> ... I have worked around this by using single-quotes instead of double-quotes in the HTML label, but thought it worth raising a bug report anyway. I would provide a patch, but I cannot work out where the escaping is being done - sorry! Thanks for a great module, Andy
Hi Andrew I've been re-installing Debian since Sunday, and have finally been able to release a patch for this. See V 2.32. I have not yet received the usual emails from PAUSE about this new distro being added to CPAN, but it should be there, since I can see it when I log on to PAUSE. I've noted your report in the Changes file. Cheers Ron
