RE: [VE][232] getting this error Error [232]: "number of attribute names and name tokens (X) exceeds ATTCNT (Y)"

Hi david, thanks for the email,

So is it possible to Increase the ATTCNT in the SGML declaration used with
custom DTDs. On the W3C validator?

Regards
steve

Google found me http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/changelog.html.en

I belive the WDG Validator has a shared ancestry for the SGML parser
used in the W3C Validator, so this is likely the same issue.

"""

      DTDs. This makes it possible to add a larger number of
      attributes to elements such as EMBED.
"""

This suggests that it is possible to resolve, but needs a change to
the validation service.

(Please direct responses to www-validator and not directly to me,
thanks).
