I'm just starting to use XML and I'm thinking of using
DocBook for some documentation. I tried my first simple
example from the book and I'm getting a parse error.
I iniitally typed in the offending code, but when it
did not parse, I figured I must be doing something
wrong I decided to take the code directly from a CDROM
that came with the book I'm using to learn from. Still,
I get the same parse error.
I tried reading this in with two browsers: netscape 7.2
and Konqueror 3.3.0-8.
I'm attaching the text file which I tried to read into
the browsers.
The Error message:
fatal parsing error: unexpected character in line 3, column 55
<!DOCTYPE Book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN">
^
Can anyone give me help here?
Thanks in advance.

Omitting the system identifier is not allowed in XML, you are either
trying to parse an SGML document or you have to fix it before you can
parse it e.g. by adding a system identifier.

Not unlikely. Docbook exists in both SGML and XML dialects. Make sure
the example you're using is written in the XML version.

Soren,
Thank you. I found that not only did I have the 'lm' tranposed,
but the xml line had to be the first line, not the 2nd line.

Bjoern,
Thank you. After fixing the xlm --> xml problem, then I changed
PUBLIC to SYSTEM and my file parsed.

Yes. Per the XML spec, the *only* thing that can preceed the XML
Declaration is the (optional, in most encodings) Byte Order Mark. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
