SgmlReader NuGet Package?

[haacked]

Hi All,

Have you thought about making a NuGet package for SgmlReader? It'll make it a lot easier for people to start using the library. I'd be happy to create one for you and post it to the feed to get started.

If you haven't heard of NuGet, please check out my blog post here: http://haacked.com/archive/2010/10/0...e-manager.aspx

and the CodePlex website - http://nuget.codeplex.com/

If I create one for you, should I simply list "Mindtouch" as the author?

Haacked,

That's a great idea. I've been meaning to look into it, but just haven't gotten around to it. You can find the most recent version on GitHub. Let me know if there's anything I can help with.

Hello,

I just migrated my application from SgmlReader 1.8.7 (which I download from GitHub) to 1.8.8 (which I installed from Nuget) and my application stop working correctly. I spend some time to investigate and I believe than Nuget version does not contain all components of the library. It does not contain DTD schema so it is not producing correct output xhtml. Also the file size for version 1.8.7 is 143 kbyte and for 1.8.8 62 kbyte

Is it possible to fix it?

Thanks,
Alex.

The problem can be solved by putting Html.dtd file in the folder with application and setting SystemLiteral property with the path to file

                sgmlReader.DocType = "Html";
                sgmlReader.SystemLiteral = "Html.dtd";

But still having it as embedded resources will be easy i believe, especially for developers who just start using the library.

Thanks for reporting this. I'm taking a look right now. The built-in DTD is a must. That's core to what SgmlReader is supposed to do. The nuget integration was done through a pull request by another user. I frankly do not have a whole lot of experience with nuget, so I never looked into it. And since there was no feature changes otherwise, I never tried the newer build either.

The DTD is embedded in the build as it should. However, the DocType needs to be set explicitly. Did you see this page for instructions? http://developer.mindtouch.com/en/docs/SgmlReader It's also in the readme.md file that is included on GitHub.
