Summary

0005261: Parse errors reported by toplevel for code of section 1.8

Description

In section 1.8 (Pretty-printing and parsing), the code samples result in various toplevel errors.
According to Rémi Vanicat's message on ocaml_beginners ML of the 02 May 2011:

" The first problem is a lacking #load "dynlink.cma";; before
the #load "camlp4o.cma";; Then there is an encoding problem: the ' in
parser should be the ' char and not the ??? char. "

Notes
(0005875) doligez (manager) 2011-05-02 13:28	Are you sure about the encoding problem? Just adding the missing #load seems to fix the problem here.

(0005876) rixed (reporter) 2011-05-02 14:23	No, I'm not. Looking at it again I cannot find any encoding problem. I'm reporting your question to Rémi on the beginners list; feel free to close the bug if it's fixed after the #load, and I will reopen it if there is an actual issue with the encoding.

(0005877) rixed (reporter) 2011-05-02 14:32	After another look I think I've understood the problem: apostrophes are encoded with "&#X2019;", but should be "&#X27;" or even simpler "'" Copy and pasting with forefox works as expected, but maybe some other browser might output a different character?

(0006069) doligez (manager) 2011-07-29 17:20	#load: fixed on 2011-07-29 Please reopen if the encoding problem is real.

(0006870) doligez (manager) 2012-02-01 13:54	The encoding problem is confirmed. The example displays correctly, but when you copy and paste it to a terminal, the ' character is not an ASCII quote.

(0006927) doligez (manager) 2012-02-15 13:26	Encoding problem fixed in trunk [3.13.0] (commit 12157).
