By the way, on a side note I just checked dblp.xml; all 500MB of it; and today it looks well-formed to me. Instructions for checking: $ xmllint --loaddtd --noout dblp.xml If there are no error messages, then it's well-formed. (I downloaded the gzipped version and parsed it locally.) This should work on any Unix, provided libxml is installed (and these days it usually is, except perhaps on Mac OS X.) If you don't include --loaddtd or if you parse a local copy without the DTD available, then you'll see a bunch of messages aboput undefined entities, though these aren't technically well-formedness errors. I don't think you actually said what department your class was in. By any chance were your Ph.D. students that had all the problems philosophy majors instead of C.S? If so, that would likely explain why we see such radically different issues with the teaching and usability of this material. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Refactoring HTML Just Published! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0321503635/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA
