Hello, Often when I copy and paste HTML code from somewhere, and edit the resulting page in Oxygen, I get a validation error in http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd For example, when the DOCTYPE at the beginning says <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> I get the validation error: F [Xerces] The declaration for the entity "ContentType" must end with '>'. If I click on this error message, it takes me not to my html document, but to http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd, to the following declaration: <!ENTITY % ContentType "CDATA" -- media type, as per [RFC2045] --> The middle of those three lines is highlighted. I could understand if something in my own HTML were invalid; but this appears to be saying that the standard DTD provided by W3C is not well-formed. I'm not a DTD guru, but I would be very surprised if that were the case. Is this a Xalan bug, then? This is not a showstopper for me, but it does make it more complicated for me to do validation on the html I'm writing. Thanks, Lars
Hi Lars, That should be an SGML DTD, thus the errors when you validate it as an XML DTD. Solutions: * use a catalog to map that to a local copy and edit the local copy to make it a valid XML DTD * use the XHTML DTD, for example: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> This is also mapped by oXygen catalogs into a local copy.
