Re: Urgent: user experience with 4.2CR1?
/ Michael Smith <smith@xml-doc.org> was heard to say:
| The only problem I've run into is in using the DTD with Earl Hood's
| perlSGML. If I try to run the perlSGML 'dtdview' command on it, I get:
|
| $ dtdview docbookx.dtd
| Reading catalog(s) ...
| Reading docbookx.dtd ...
| Syntax error in subset.
| Unexpected character: "E", ascii code=69.
| Reason:
| Invalid character found outside of a markup statment
|
| What it's complaining about is the line starting with "ERROR" in:
|
| <![%sgml.features;[
| <![%xml.features;[
| ERROR: Exactly one of xml.features and sgml.features must be turned on!
| ]]>
| ]]>
Hmmm. That's interesting. His tool is obviously ignoring marked
section boundries, but because we have a single driver for SGML and
XML, I've set things up so that it is explicitly an error to have both
xml.features and sgml.features turned on simultaneously.
I don't know if we should fix this or not.
Pro: tools that ignore MS boundries wouldn't get confused.
Con: turning both sets of features on might result in unpredictable behavior
Be seeing you,
