Hi,
I am having a problem with the parsing some documents which are not
well-formed. The parser seems to catch the error, but then strangely instead
of stopping at that point and returning an error, it proceeds to invoke the
character callback. I am not sure whether this is the expected behaviour.
I am attaching the relevant test files and providing a brief description of
the problem. I am working with LibXml version 2.26.28.
ibm09n01, ibm09n02---- These files contain the declaration of an invalid
entity value in an internal subset, the error is caught but character
callback is invoked for the character content inside the start element.
ibm10n02, ibm10n06----The test is to check for an invalid attribute value,
however again I get a characters callback for the character data present as
the content of the lone element which contains an invalid attribute value.
ibm15n01---Invalid Comment
ibm17n01, ibm17n02, ibm17n03, ibm17n04-----Invalid PI's
ibm29n01----Contains an illegal markup declaration in the DTD
ibm29n02----Parameter references appear inside element declaration.
As I have mentioned, the common problem happens to be that the error
conditions are not flagged as such, and furthermore instead of the parsing
being stopped I get a character callback for the character content
associated with that particular element.

Expectations that have gotten out of hand, will lead to absolute

find that eventually catching up with it is just an illusion, though it
seems so plausible. (perhaps a meaningful life is like that too? -- just an
illusion?)
