Hi,

I have a problem with msxml 1.6. If i put only one entity within an eleme=
nt, =

this element must be able to contain some PCDATA because msxml considers =
an =

entity as a piece of PCDATA !

But if i have:

<?XML VERSION=3D"1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE EXAMPLE [
<!ELEMENT EXAMPLE (P+)>
<!ELEMENT P (S+)>
<!ELEMENT S (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST S ID ID #IMPLIED>
<!-- ENTITY incs SYSTEM "inc-s.xml" -->
<!ENTITY incs "<S>A third in a new paragraph.</S>">
]>
<EXAMPLE>
<P><S ID=3D"s1">A sentence.</S><S ID=3D"s2">An another.</S></P>
<P>&incs;</P>
</EXAMPLE>

I get this message:
% java msxml2 -i -d test-ext-ent.xml
Invalid element 'PCDATA' in content of 'P'. Expected [S]
Location: file:test-ext-ent.xml(12,5)
Context: <EXAMPLE><P>

And with this one, it works (just because P contains PCDATA in its conten=
t !):

<?XML VERSION=3D"1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE EXAMPLE [
<!ELEMENT EXAMPLE (P+)>
<!ELEMENT P (#PCDATA | S+)><!-- <<=3D here -->
<!ELEMENT S (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST S ID ID #IMPLIED>
<!-- ENTITY incs SYSTEM "inc-s.xml" -->
<!ENTITY incs "<S>A third in a new paragraph.</S>">
]>
<EXAMPLE>
<P><S ID=3D"s1">A sentence.</S><S ID=3D"s2">An another.</S></P>
<P>&incs;</P>
</EXAMPLE>

Is there something broken in the msxml kingdom ?

Pat.
