I have to generate a set of IDs in my XSL-FO file, and have done so. However, I get a complaint from Oxygen that: <fo:block " id="1-2">.... E [Xerces] cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '1' is not a valid value for 'NCName'. My programs seem to work, and I do not understand why I am getting this complaint. I thought digits were valid. What is wrong? Mark

XML IDs must start with a "name start character", e.g., a letter. Numbers are not valid name start characters. FO engines that don't validate the FO document won't care, but engines that do will.

Thanks to everyone for quick and clear responses. I'll prefix a letter to the IDs.

Hi Mark, IDs are defined as NCName and they cannot start with digits. For details see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#NT-NCName Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com Mark Wilson wrote:
