Docbook xml title containing double quotation marks causes CHM TOC issue
Hi All,

When I use 
double quotation marks ("") to quote a word in the xml 

<title></title> element, the generated CHM TOC entry only shows 
the word 
qupted, not the complete title.

I have the following 
XML file (please note the quotation marks in the title 
line: 
<title>Loading "heavy" window</title>):

<?xml 
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<chapter version="5.0" 
xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"

        
xmlns:ns5="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"

        
xmlns:ns4="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

        
xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

        
xmlns:ns2="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

        
xmlns:ns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook">

 <title>About This 
Book</title>

 <sect1>

   
<title>Loading "heavy" window</title>

   
<para>An example of using quotation marks in 
title.</para>

 </sect1>

</chapter>

Then 
I complied the XML file to htmlhelp files using the following 
command:

xsltproc 

D:/unix/usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.75.2/htmlhelp/htmlhelp.xsl 

about_this_book.xml

Then I compiled the htmlhelp files to CHM 
file using Microsoft HTML Help 
Workshop.

But when opening the 
CHM file, and expanding the TOC list in the Contents 
area, the TOC entry 
shows only one word: heavy, rather than: Loading 
"heavy"
window.

When looking at the hhc file, it's like this: 
value='Loading "heavy" 
window'.

<LI><OBJECT 
type="text/sitemap">

<param name="Name" value='Loading "heavy" 
window'>

<param name="Local" 
value="index.html#id1330919"></OBJECT></LI>

Any 
suggestions on how I can fix this if I want to keep the quotation marks 
in 
title? Or should I avoid using quotation marks in the title element at 

all?

I appreciate any input for this! Thank 
you!

Regards
