#62 illegal parameter entity reference

[Martin Harm]

Hi folks,
this is the error msg from the example prog outline
when feeded with the following xml-file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE title [
<!ENTITY % inline "(#PCDATA|em|b|a|img|br)*">
<!ELEMENT title (%inline;) > <!-- error !! -->

]>
<title>Oha</title>

->
Parse error at line 4:
illegal parameter entity reference

Why ??

(I'm using expat.1.95.1 on Linux)

expat is right. Your example document isn't wellformed XML.

See xml recommendation 2.8: Well-Formedness Constraint: PEs
in Internal Subset

The previous comment is right. XML is much stricter about
PEs than SGML. Closing this report.
