Thanks, Jarle!



Now I try to parse the XML spec (REC-xml-19980210.xml) and the spec.dtd
(copied from the above URL) with nsgmls. I'm using nsgmls 1.3 on SunOS 5.6
(Solaris 2). I already parsed xml instances without problems but in this case
it doesn't work. Following are the first lines of nsgmls output:

sm at brown(/tmp/sm){590}: /tmp/sm/sp-1.3/nsgmls/nsgmls -E 10 -w xml -s REC-xml-19980210.xml
/tmp/sm/sp-1.3/nsgmls/nsgmls:spec.dtd:60:17:W: named character reference
/tmp/sm/sp-1.3/nsgmls/nsgmls:spec.dtd:60:19:E: "X2014" is not a function name

/tmp/sm/sp-1.3/nsgmls/nsgmls:REC-xml-19980210.xml:787:7:W: character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data


I enabled XML support as described on http://www.jclark.com/sp/xml.htm


      Set the SP_CHARSET_FIXED environment variable to YES. 
      Set the SP_ENCODING environment variable to XML. 
      Set the SGML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable to point to the file
	pubtext/xml.soc.  
      Use the -wxml option. setenv SP_CHARSET_FIXED YES



What's wrong?  Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.




Bye,

 Stefan.
