Sigil parsing error

ChuckieM · 06-23-2022, 06:10 PM

I am running Sigil 1.9.10 on an M1 iMac (OS X 12.4) and I am getting a parsing error on the '@' sign. Below is a minimum viable example that throws the error:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops">
<head>
  <title></title>
</head>

<body>
  0: (SWANK::DEBUG-IN-EMACS #<UNDEFINED-FUNCTION @ #x716b082a>)
</body>
</html>

Any help appreciated.

That is not valid xhtml so yes, Preview will tell you that.

Try this instead:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops">
<head>
  <title></title>
</head>

<body>
  <pre>
0: (SWANK::DEBUG-IN-EMACS # &lt; UNDEFINED-FUNCTION @ #x716b082a&gt;)</pre>
</body>
</html>

Notice the "<" followed by an ">" both of which which is not allowed in xhtml. They must be xml encoded to "<" and ">" respectively.

Preview is showing you where the Chrome based browser is saying the xhtml is invalid.

Ah, I see. I hadn't worked with XHTML in years and had forgotten about that.

Thanks!
