Hello Everyone,=20
I think this post maybe should be sent to a different (xhtml) =
newsgroup but I just wanted to check here first. Sorry if this is the =
wrong place.
I have a small python function that I use to validate xml, which I =
saved in the module "tools.py":
from xml.sax import sax2exts
from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2
from xml.dom.ext import PrettyPrint
def validateXML(filename):
p =3D sax2exts.XMLValParserFactory.make_parser()
reader =3D Sax2.Reader(parser=3Dp)
dom_object =3D reader.fromUri(filename)
PrettyPrint(dom_object)
This seems to work fine - and I use it as a quick "stupidity" check when =
I am messing with my XML documents.
from tools import validateXML
validateXML('myfile.xml')
Assuming that code is o.k. - here is where the question gets off topic. =
The problem arises when I try to check XHTML documents. =20
For example: "test.html" Which is more or less taken from the W3C =
spec:
<?xml version=3D"1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html=20
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang=3D"en" =
lang=3D"en">
<head>
<title>Virtual Library</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Moved to <a href=3D"http://vlib.org/">vlib.org</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>
Dies a horrible death with messages about "xml:space must have exactly =
the values 'default' and 'preserve'" Am I correct that this is just my =
lack of understanding about XHTML and has nothing to do with python? If =
so - thanks for the verification and sorry about the post - I will look =
elsewhere. Otherwise, what did I screw up?
Thanks
Steve Barlow
