Hi Pluckites I am trying to pluck the Wikipedia current events page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_events\nand only that page (spidering limit = 1).
I am getting the following error: Error: Runtime error parsing document http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_events: unexpected char in declaration: '<' Parsing failed. [See below for full error listing] Having read the previous threads on this error, I checked the page at the W3C validator. It validates. "This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!" http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCurrent_events Looking at the code, Wikipedia seems to do some funny things with style sheets. <style type="text/css" media="screen,projection">/*<![CDATA[*/ @import "/style/monobook/main.css"; /*]]>*/</style> My coding is not strong enough to know if this is the problem. I have included the relevant .ini file at the end of this document. As has been said here before, this is an oldie but a goodie. http://lists.rubberchicken.org/pipermail/plucker-list/2003-January/001341.html However, I seem to have found a new wrinkle. Any advice gratefully appreciated.
