According to XMLSpy, this is a well-formed document until you add
multiple nodes.
So, when you read this file into a variable, you should be able to just
add a new top-level node that encompasses the multiple nodes.
Then, you should be able to parse the XML file into an actual XML object
in ColdFusion.
That should make everything fine, from what I can tell.
Two hints:
1. Always use CFDUMP when in doubt.
2. Multiple tags, at the same level, such as , will result in
an array over which you can loop. (Again, refer to CFDUMP to see the
structure.)

Subject: Parsing non-standard XML
I'm trying to parse a file for a school district that is supposed to be
XML, but it's not well-formed. Does anyone here have experience parsing
files like this? The format is something like this:
xxx
xxx
Chapter 34 Reading Quiz 5
asdfasdf
6,5,14,38,5,5,15,38,5 89.9 B+
12345
7,5,14,47,6,5,15,40,5 98.6 A+
And there are muliple top-level nodes in each file.
