Hello, all-- OK, first of all, I have not forgotten that the SXML tools are full of black magic, etc. - no need to rehash that discussion. And so if it is not deemed feasible to fix the misbehavior I'm seeing, so be it. But I couldn't let this pass without saying something.
I was building a new blog with Coq au vin, which uses Civet to process templates, which in turn uses SSAX ... and one of my XHTML templates caused the following error: csi> (load-template "base.html") Warning: DOCTYPE DECL html http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd found and skipped Error: XMLNS [4] for ' #\= "'" Call history: civet-impl.scm:84: *template-path* civet-impl.scm:439: make-pathname civet-impl.scm:440: pathname-replace-extension civet-impl.scm:441: template-cache-path civet-impl.scm:88: *template-cache-path* civet-impl.scm:89: template-path civet-impl.scm:84: *template-path* civet-impl.scm:89: make-pathname civet-impl.scm:441: make-pathname civet-impl.scm:442: update-cached-template? civet-impl.scm:428: file-exists? civet-impl.scm:429: file-exists? civet-impl.scm:430: file-modification-time civet-impl.scm:431: file-modification-time civet-impl.scm:444: open-input-file civet-impl.scm:447: ssax:xml->sxml <-- This is obviously not very informative - but more than that, I found it misleading, because it refers to 'XMLNS [4]' - so I thought at first there was an error related to a namespace. That was not the case, as you'll see. Fortunately, I kept a cool head and decided to check the file with xmlwf. Here's what that told me: $ xmlwf base.html base.html:16:17: not well-formed (invalid token) Now that's a helpful error message. It turns out the problem was the inline JavaScript in my template (which contained the <= operator). Since I was using the XHTML Transitional doctype, that's allowed per W3C specs, and it simply hadn't occurred to me that it was likely to result in non-well-formed XML. I think someone who doesn't have extensive experience with XML and/or is trying to parse a file they did not create themselves might have no idea what to do with that SSAX error. -- Matt Gushee
