Well, Oliver figured this out. Apparently, at some point his XML editor, or one of the other editors he uses added a BOM to Chapter06.xml.
SlickEdit, apparently, won't show the BOM even in hex mode. So when I looked at the file in hex mode the BOM did not show up. When I deleted the first lines in the file, SlickEdit just added the BOM back in when the file was saved. Oliver saw the BOM in his hex editor, deleted the 3 bytes, and committed the file. Now the oodguide builds fine. -- Mark Miesfeld On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 9:47 AM, Mark Miesfeld <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 5:59 AM, David Ashley <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Check the line that "includes" the chapter.
