I would guess that it means minus i.e. excluded.

It just says that processing instructions can have whatever name,

(line 2) but cannot start with xml, whatever the case of those letters is.

(line 1) and cannot contain "?>" because it would be premature end of the
processing instruction.

Subject:  "PI" related Newbie query

Hi:

The PI expression is written in the following manner
(ref. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml )

PI          ::=    '<?' PITarget (S (Char* - (Char* '?>' Char*)))? '?>'
PITarget    ::=    Name - (('X' | 'x') ('M' | 'm') ('L' | 'l'))

My query is what does the symbol '-' imply in the above expressions ?

Any pointers in this regard will be appreciated.

Thanks
Tom.
