Plasma expects rich text for the body, please try quoting angle brackets using < > Christoph, is this RESOLVED INTENTIONAL then? (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #1) > Plasma expects rich text for the body, please try quoting angle brackets > using < > Well, the problem is this erroneous notification is sent by clementine for the music album because of the '<' in the name. I thought the behavior would be same for both the <summary> and the [body]. If this is expected, I'll take up the issue with clementine developers. Thanks. I am not sure if this is intentional. Is 'libnotify' using some XDG standard for notifications? If there is a standard, and it forbids rich text, then Plasma notifications should have a way to show plain notifications, without any character substitutions. To answer my own question: According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_notifications libnotify follows the Notification Spec at https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/ which says the body may contain simple XML based Markup <b> <i> etc. So yes, to answer your question forneus48, you should contact the Clementine developers and tell them to properly escape their strings. I don't have libnotify installed, but using kdialog I could confirm that Plasma properly substitutes XML entities. kdialog --passivepopup "Hello <b>"Plasma & Qt"</b>" 1 kdialog --passivepopup "while (1<2)" 1 --icon dialog-error kdialog --passivepopup "while (1<2)" 1 --icon dialog-information First line demonstrates XML markup, second line truncates, third line works. |
