RE: XSLT choking on DTD?

["Richard Lander" <rlander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Disco,

I imagine the problem is with #PCDATA. When including #PCDATA in a
mixed-content model, you must make sure that it is first and that you only
use '|' to separate elements and that you use only '*' and that it be used
once at the very end.

So, something like

<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA|CODE|KEYWORD)*>
is fine

Something like

<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA|CODE+|KEYWORD)*>
is not

So, I'm guessing that the '*'s in your flow entity are causing a problem.
Also, if you use ',' or have embedded groups within block, then you'll have
problems.

I hope that helps,

Richard.

It might be useful to know:

<!ENTITY % inline "#PCDATA | %fontstyle; | %phrase; | %special;">

I think the problem is surrounding the PCDATA...
