 Benoit, if it works in Xerces but not with MSXML I unfortunately can't help. No, I don't know of any workarounds. The only reason I'm writing you is because I would hate to see this become your reason to not use the M12N. Can't you just use a real XML parser ;-)? Perhaps the ongoing work on M12N in XML Schema may solve this problem once for all in the future, since the HTML WG had to do a lot of tricks with DTDs to make the M12N happen in the first place. With XML Schema, M12N seems to be more straight-forward [1]. - Sebastian [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-m12n-schema/ -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: MAISONNY Benoit Gesendet: Fr 28.06.2002 14:08 An: 'www-html@w...'; 'xml-dev@l...' Cc: Betreff: XHTML modularisation causes strange error with MSXML Hello, I wrote a DTD for a type of aeronautical document, using XHTML Modularisation. This worked fine until I tried to validate the DTD and sample documents with MSXML4 SP1 (and earlier). Needless to say they validate with Xerces and ElCel's xmlvalid (and even with XMLSpy, after adding a space into empty parameter entities). I found some messages on xml-dev[1] and www-html[2] related to MSXML in the context of XHTML m12n and 1.1, but I can't find any solution/workaround for the following error message (output by xmlint.exe, Microsoft's validator): A name was started with an invalid character. URL: file:///H:/eAIP/_dev/xhtml/eAIP/sample7-id.xml Line 00001: && Pos 00002: -^ As you can expect, that file begins with <?xml ... and not with && or whatever. A page[3] on microsoft.com explains this can be caused by encoding issues, but it is not my case: I checked the files at byte level to be sure (they are UTF-8). It doesn't seem to be an OS issue neither (same on NT4 & win98). I suppose it's a bug in MSXML and I won't wait for MS to correct it for me :-) So my question is rather: what causes this error? Is there a workaround? (I am not against a small change in the DTD that would magically please MSXML.) Should I give up XHTML m12n and instead adapt XHTML 1.0 extensively to suit my needs? (not that I want to!)
