An HTML 4.01 document is an SGML document and not an XML document, so if you use an XML tool to transform that HTML document, it is unlikely to work. In this particular case SGML allows comments inside an entity declaration, but XML does not. You'd have to convert your HTML 4.01 documents into XHTML 1.0 documents, e.g. by using HTML Tidy, before doing XML transformation. > Is it mandatory to declare this way? > > <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" > "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> > > or is it ok to declare this way [to avoid the above said error.] > > <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" > "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> I'm afraid I cannot find the difference between the above two.
