Please take a look at XML 1.0 spec, you will find: 1. in xml decl, standalone decl has to come after encoding decl in the syntax rule 22.
2. in DTD, textdecl was used instead of xmldecl, look at rule 77, encoding decl is NOT optional, which mean you always need a encoding decl in the textdecl if you have one in the beginning of DTD, however versionInfo is optional in this case. _____ Eric Ye * IBM, JTC - Silicon Valley * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Klang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Sasha Alexander Bilton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2000 8:09 AM Subject: attributes in the xml declaration > > Hey! > > xerces-j 1.1.2 -> > > just noted that this fails: > <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> > with: > org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The XML declaration must end with "?>" > > whereas this works: > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?> > > also, seems i can leave the encoding attribute out of the xml file, but if > i don't include it in the xml declaration of my dtd, eg: > <?xml version="1.0"?> > then i get: > org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: White space is required between the > version and the encoding declaration > or with: > <?xml version="1.0" ?> > i get: > org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The encoding declaration is required in > the text declaration > > if these are known problems, then please ignore this mail > > cheers! > > /m > >
