I ran the exact code I sent you just now on my laptop and it worked fine. The file was saved and on unzipping the file and viewing it in a text editor I see the PI before the root node as well as inside it.
You're saying it "does not work". I'll need you to be specific on what's happening because I'm seeing it work. And definitely to make a valid expression where there's a PI before the root you need the document node wrapper to make it one expression not two. -jh- On Jul 30, 2014, at 5:26 PM, neil bradley <[email protected]> wrote: > Jason, > > Thanks for your answers, and I expect that your solution > to the ZIP problem will help me. > > But I dont think you noticed that I was saying that the document node does > NOT WORK: > > document { <?hi there?><Root><?hi there?></Root> } > > Now that is totally valid XML so I cant see why it fails. > > Neil. > > > > on 30/7/14 10:17 AM, Jason Hunter <[email protected]> wrote: > >>> Just one more point.
