Re: [htdig] External Parsers (Word Docs) Problem

[David A. <D.J...@so...>]

Most likely the problem is in your configuration file.
Replace
    external-parsers:
by
    external_parsers:

Check that there are no spaces after / at the end of lines.
Check and check again your external_parser: statement. Take a look at FAQ
