Hello -
Somewhere in the expat docs this list is given as a place to
ask questions. I've looked on the web for an answer
and have come up empty, so I hope it's OK to ask here.
What I want to do is use expat to read HTML 4.01. I have
no problem with the requirement of the input being
well formed. But, to do this I have to read the standard
"loose" or "strict" DTD.
What I've tried:
XML_SetParamEntityParsing(parser, XML_PARAM_ENTITY_PARSING_ALWAYS);
XML_SetExternalEntityRefHandler(parser,ext_ref_handler);
and then in ext_ref_handler, create a sub_parser:
XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate(parser,context,encoding)
and feed the DTD file to it.
The problem:
It chokes on the first non-comment line (an ENTITY) in loose.dtd
from w3.org with a syntax error. It doesn't seem to like the "--"
as a comment delimiter.
Should I not use loose.dtd? I kinda assumed it is a valid DTD...
Are there any examples/samples of parsing a DTD? I found lots of
descriptions of how to do it (which seems to be what I did) but
no code.
This is with version expat-1.95.8
Thanks,
Rick
