Hi Andrew, I can't speak to the general question. But on this point . . .
ü . . . is an HTML character entity reference, and is not recognized within XML documents in general. To use this, you would need, as the XML parser here is saying, a supporting DTD entity reference declaration. Easier, I think, maybe just to reference it using it's numeric value: ü --Dave ================== David Walker Library Web Services Manager California State University http://xerxes.calstate.edu From: Andrew Marlow [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2008 2:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dspace-tech] structure import problem with French and German accented characters I have created an XML file for a structure import, based on a CSV file I have of journal titles. I am converting the CSV to XML using a bit of perl. Everything is fine until I introduce journal titles that contain accented characters. For example, one title contains the German word 'fur' with u umlaut. I get a UTF-8 error if I leave it like that. So in my XML file I change this for ü but it doesn't work. It says 'the entity uuml was referenced but not declared'. What is going wromg please? How may titles with accented characters be imported? -- Regards, Andrew M. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
