Hi, I've taken a look at this. The problem is that split2po expects each XML file to contain just one top-level element (e.g., book, article, whatever). Your files begin with a <sect2>...</sect2>, followed by another <sect2>...</sect2>. It's therefore ignoring the second sect2 completely.
My understanding is that XML only allows a single top-level element (though please do correct me if I'm wrong). In this case, the files 1.xml and 2.xml are technically incorrect -- what split2po should do in this situation is output a meaningful error message. My guess is that split2po is not even looking for more text after the top-level element is closed (and so doesn't even realise that something's wrong). But I have yet to dig through the source to see for certain. b. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
