Just so we complete (partially) the web-record...

Some further hunting determined that the &apos was an apostrophe - obvious only in retrospect! Removal of this character has resolved the Entity errors, but not the xmlParseStartTag: invalid element name errors.

I had assumed that the two errors were dependent, but they are not.

odfWeave does have some ability with its translate command to address some XML/OO special characters, but I have not explored this facet of odfWeave yet, and I was a bit surprised that the use of this common grammatical mark generated an error, but..

Now, in search of a cause for the invalid element name error(s).

Thanks to Duncan for his help.

Hi Rob.

Without the file content_1.xml or any information
from the R call stack (e.g. options(error = recover)
and then run the command and dynamically explore the
state of affairs when the error occurs), there is
no way for us to know what the problem might be.

Somehow, the XML parser appears to be seeing a
     <token
and token is not a legitimate XML element name. It may also be
seeing &apos; which would identify an XML entity.

Assuming that this is what the XML parser is seeing,
the question is how they got into the document.

So we need more to start diagnosing the problem.

I've been happily building a file with odfWeave, and just as the hour
draws nigh for it to be sent off, odfWeave or XML throws  the following
catastrophic error:


...this is the tail of entirely uneventful processing of input file.....

31 : term xml(label=LR_Fall_Model_Results)
 32 : term verbatim(label=LR_Model_Fall_graph)
 33 : term xml(label=LR_OMC_tab)

'content_1.xml' has been Sweaved

Removing content.xml

Post-processing the contents
xmlParseStartTag: invalid element name
Entity 'apos' not defined
Entity 'apos' not defined


This triplet of errors XMLParse, and duplicate "Entity" lines is
reported several times, then XML or odfWeave  packs up its toys, and
goes home without an output file.

I'd (desperately) love any insights anyone might have.

Thanks,

Rob
