File JSR_30_CLDC_1_0.xml attached to your email is not a well-formed XML document. It cannot be opened in XXE which reports this error: element after document element. And this seems that this file has many other ``non-well-formed'' errors. XMLmind XML Editor is not well suited to cope with well-formed XML files written by hand and therefore containing many errors. If you really need to edit such files, you are loosing your time with our product. > and removed "illegal" characters, File JSR_30_CLDC_1_0.xml contains no "illegal" characters.

I reproduced what you did on file JSR_30_CLDC_1_0.xml (except removing characters) and saved the file using the ISO-8859-1 encoding (see attached jsr-iso-8859-1.xml) and also using the UTF-8 encoding (see jsr-utf8.xml). Using Emacs, I didn't see ``artifacts at each hard return''. I've also opened TryUTF8SaveXXE.xml in Emacs. No ``artifacts at each hard return''. I hope that you are not using notepad because it does not support Unix-style end of lines. XXE always uses Unix-style end of lines: "\n" and not DOS-style end of lines: "\r\n". In XML, both are valid. On Windows, please use write (AKA wordpad) instead on notepad. > I have been trying to find documentation about how to work with existing > XML Schema in XML Mind and am having trouble locating any information. True, we have tons of documentation: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/documentation.shtml. You'll find the answer to the above question in this book: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/index.html --- PS: XXE thinks that your <chapter> is *DocBook* one due to this DocBook detection rule (excerpt of XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/docbook.xxe): --- <detect> <and> <rootElementNamespace xsi:nil="true" /> <not> <dtdPublicId substring="true">Simplified</dtdPublicId> </not> <or> <dtdPublicId substring="true">DTD DocBook</dtdPublicId> <and> <schemaType xsi:nil="true" /> <or> <rootElementLocalName>part</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>chapter</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>refentry</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>appendix</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>glossary</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>section</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>sect1</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>sect2</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>sect3</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>book</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>article</rootElementLocalName> </or> </and> </or> </and> </detect> --- You really need to teach XXE that your <chapter> belongs in fact to another document type because XXE replaces some characters by DocBook references to character entities. For example, it replaces the trademark character by "™". However this save options can be turned off by using the Options dialog box, Save section, "Save characters outside encoding as entity references" checkbox.
