If an HTML file is loaded to v6.1 with the following Doc Type:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

an immediate error of

Code:

Line 1: White space expected.

When Doc Type is replaced with

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

the file loads fine. I don't see the relationship between the Doc Type and White Space.

After showing the error message and the error window is closed, Sigil continues and opens on a empty file. Since v6.1 will not open the file should it not shut down?
