Hi Nicklas, Thanks for the prompt response. In this particular case, the URL of the cgi script I want to call happens to contain the word "value" itself:
<link regexp=".++" url="http://germinate.scri.ac.uk/cgi-bin/atnopdb/get-all- data?type=more&value={value}" /> and BASE doesn't seem to like that. When I run the updatedb script, I get this: [30%] Building database failed: Error in building: The reference to entity "value" must end with the ';' delimiter. at line 173 in file 'null': The reference to entity "value" must end with the ';' delimiter. at line 173 in file 'null' Is there anyway around this? This situation might arise for a number of annotation data types.
