I know, but why isn't it allowed at all? (or why was it allowed in SGML in the first place?) >For example, in full SGML, the >following would satisfy (#PCDATA | stagedir)+ as well as it satisfies >(#PCDATA | stagedir)*: This means that I have to change all occurences of '+' to '*' in mixed-content declarations in my SGML dtds in order to make them XML compliant. Perhaps it is better if I change my existing SGML dtds instead... :-) Thank you, <Gr0ve/> ------------------ Geir Ove Grønmo ------------------ Falch Infotek as, Stanseveien 21, 0902 Oslo, Norway Phone: +47 22 90 27 36 Fax: +47 22 90 25 99 [grove@f... | http://www.falch.no/people/geirog] ------------------------------------------------------- xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers Archived as: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe, send to majordomo@i... the following message; unsubscribe xml-dev List coordinator, Henry Rzepa (rzepa@i...)
