Re: [docbook-apps] Weird error message: The string "--" is not permitted within comments.
Is this error reproducible?  What XML 
parser is producing it?

 

Generally the "--" string is not permitted 
within a comment (other than the ones that start and end the comment).  But 
the line pointed to by the error message does not have an extra "--".  I 
just downloaded the file at that address and it is fine.

 

It is possible that because you are 
accessing the DTD over the internet that some characters are being 
dropped.  You might want to look at your catalog set up to map the web 
address to a local address.  That would speed up processing 
too.

 

By the way, I got my payment.  
Thanks.

Hi,

  
 

  
I get this weird 
  error message randomly:

  
 

  
Error on line 7703 column 54 of http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/dbpoolx.mod:
  
  Error reported by XML parser: The string "--" is not permitted within 
  comments.

  
 

  
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were 
  reported

  
 

  
What is 
  wrong?

  
 

  
Best 
  regards,

  
 

  
/Kenneth
