There's an error and a misleading exemple in the XML REC: In Annex D, second exemple : 1 <?xml version='1.0'?> 2 <!DOCTYPE test [ 3 <!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA) > 4 <!ENTITY % xx '%zz;'> 5 <!ENTITY % zz '<!ENTITY tricky "error-prone" >' > 6 %xx; 7 ]> 8 <test>This sample shows a &tricky; method.</test> First, the PER %zz; in line 4 is not written correctly, the % is missing. Second, this exemple contradicts the following statement : <quote> Well-Formedness Constraint: PEs in Internal Subset In the internal DTD subset, parameter-entity references can occur only where markup declarations can occur, not within markup declarations. (This does not apply to references that occur in external parameter entities or to the external subset.) </quote> --------- In section 4.5, this exemple: <!ENTITY % pub "Éditions Gallimard" > <!ENTITY rights "All rights reserved" > <!ENTITY book "La Peste: Albert Camus, © 1947 %pub;. &rights;" > is well-formed ONLY if it appears in the external subset of a DTD. A little "warning" would have been helpfull to avoid erroneous interpretation of the exemple. -------- Regards Alain MichardReceived on Tuesday, 30 June 1998 04:26:06 GMT
