How does one "close" a DOCTYPE assignment tag?

The document type declaration (that points to and/or contains the document type definition) is "closed" with your use of the ">" on the same line. This isn't a "tag".


XSL Transformation failed due to following error:
Error while parsing "file:///M:/books/wiley/lax/xml/c01.xml". A declaration was not closed.

This indicates that one of the declarations in the document type definition has a problem, not with your instance. Since your document type definition is comprised only of declarations in an external declaration subset, the problem isn't in your instance.


When the instance points to an external declaration subset through the use of the SYSTEM parameter of the document type declaration, the processor can choose to read the subset because there may be important components of the parsing context defined, such as entities (the &copy; in particular in your case).

When I remove the DOCTYPE line (and the &copy; entity reference), it works fine.

Right ... because you are no longer reading the external declaration subset that has the problem declaration therein.


Review your "../../JWSCHA/jwscha.dtd" file ... you will find the problem in there.

I hope this helps.
