oxygen says W3C html strict DTD has errors
Hello, I'm editing an HTML document in Oxygen. The document begins with <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> When I try to save, Oxygen shows an "error" in the DTD: SystemID: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd Location: 81:5 Description: The declaration for the entity "ContentType" must end with '>'. The offending location is the second of these three lines in strict.dtd: <!ENTITY % ContentType "CDATA" -- media type, as per [RFC2045] --> Maybe this is because the DTD is an SGML DTD rather than an XML one? I don't know, but it seems strange for a W3C DTD to be called erroneous! Incidentally, I think this DOCTYPE declaration was added by HTML Tidy, or possibly by an HTML editor program. Lars
Hello, Yes, the error is caused by a SGML DTD. The oXygen validator validates only XML DTDs and XML documents that are conformant with XML DTDs. Regards, Sorin Lars Huttar wrote:

I guess the question, then, is why is Oxygen attempting to validate using this SGML DTD? When I open this HTML file, is Oxygen assuming it's XML for some reason? I'm looking for some way to turn off validation, so I don't keep getting spurious errors. Thanks, Lars On 9/20/2007 3:38 AM, Sorin Ristache wrote:

Hello, oXygen validates a file only if a validation action is executed from a toolbar or from a menu. oXygen validates a file automatically when you open the file only if the option Validate as you type is enabled. oXygen is assuming HTML files are XML (XHTML) ones.

For disabling the option "Validate as you type" go to Options -> Preferences -> Editor -> Document Checking. Regards, Sorin Sorin Ristache wrote:

I guess my point is that oXygen doesn't try to validate text files, for example. It would be nice if oXy could tell whether a given HTML file was intended to be valid XML or not, and if not, not try to validate it. But turning off Validate-as-you-type is fine for me.
