Problem: White space is required between the version and the encoding declaration.

I'm getting this error while I'm trying to parse a simple XML document.

SAXParseException: White space is required between the version and the
encoding declaration.

The error appears to be in the DTD that it doesn't like the <?xml
version="1.0"?> line, and I don't understand what the issue is. Can anyone
provide any hints? I get this error on both 1.4.3 and 1.4.4.

XML I'm trying to parse:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE Basic SYSTEM "file:basic.dtd">

<Basic>
    <anInt>1</anInt>
    <aDouble>2.4</aDouble>
    <aString>This is a string</aString>
    <anotherString>ANother string</anotherString>
</Basic>

The DTD (in basic.dtd):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!ELEMENT Basic (anInt?, aDouble?, aString?, anotherString?)>

<!ELEMENT anInt (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT aDouble (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT aString (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT anotherString (#PCDATA)>

Thanx!

Best Regards,

If the default were UTF-8, the reader would throw
an exception on many pages. Any page that contains
an ISO Latin 1 character (above the typical ASCII
range), would make the UTF-8 reader die.

ISO Latin 1 (or Windows-1252) are safe defaults
because every possible byte is acceptable. But, if
the high bit is set on a byte read by the UTF-8
reader, then it assumes that it matches the proper
UTF-8 sequence and when it doesn't, it throws an
exception.

As long as the page specifies its encoding using
the http-equiv meta tag, then NekoHTML will change
to the correct reader and everything will be fine.
But, if it does *not*, then we need to use a "safe"
encoding. Therefore, I chose Windows-1252.

Default decoding in Neko

Posted by Takumi Fujiwara <tr...@yahoo.com>.

Hi, 
Could someone pleasea tell me why the default decoding in Neko is Windows-1252 instead of UTF-8? I want to parse pages like yahoo.jp, yahoo.co.jp, dk.yahoo.com, it.yahoo.com, hk.yahoo.com
I know I can change it if I want, I just want to understand why "Windows-1252" is choosen instead of UTF-8?
Thank you.
Sam

Will,

Encoding is optional for xml decl.  I am as confused as you're on this.
Anyone else has input on this?

Re: Problem: White space is required between the version and the encoding declaration.

Posted by Will Hartung <wi...@msoft.com>.

So, is the 'encoding' portion required? I thought it was optional. Or is it
only required for DTDs? If I simply add the 'encoding' clause to the DTD,
then it works, even though the actual XML file has the same, simple <?xml
version="1.0"?> header.

Confused and peplexed.

Will,

You can remove the xml decl or force adding the encoding info:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
