Hi,

I found an issue when loading FBT files which have not been created or
have been manipulated with other tools (1499 as well as xml). These
often produce the following line:

<!DOCTYPE FBType SYSTEM "http://www.holobloc.com/xml/
LibraryElement.dtd">

Which is rejected by FBDK with the error: INVALID_SYNTAX: >
After playing around a bit I found out that inserting a space between
" and > allows to parse it. However the rest in the rest of the XML
file there are no spaces between attributes or attribute values and
the >.

Best Regards,
Alois

Thanks, Alois. The next release of FBDK will use the SAX Parser
instead of an ad hoc parser, which will avoid this error.
In the meantime, I'll log it to the "Bugs" page.

Hi Jim,

thanks for the fast reply. Is the "Bugs" page somehow public
accessible?

Best Regards,
Alois

Yes, the Bugs page is accessible but a little obscure. Go to
http://www.holobloc.com/doc/fbdk/FBEditor.html and click on the bugs
crawling at the upper left.
