[Jens Emmerich <Jens dot Emmerich at brokat-le dot com>]

Is the encoding (given in the very first line) correct for each instance?
(Big5 vs. utf8?).

Subject: DOCBOOK: Validation Error with article XML Document in Chinese


I wrote an article with docbook DTD in Chinese, but failed to validate with
the following error messages:

...
cd /home/lu/Documents/
nsgmls -s  EditArticleWithEmacs.xml
nsgmls:EditArticleWithEmacs.xml:5:13:E: non SGML character number 152
nsgmls:EditArticleWithEmacs.xml:5:16:E: non SGML character number 152
nsgmls:EditArticleWithEmacs.xml:5:24:E: non SGML character number 152
nsgmls:EditArticleWithEmacs.xml:5:27:E: non SGML character number 152
nsgmls:EditArticleWithEmacs.xml:5:33:E: non SGML character number 152
nsgmls:EditArticleWithEmacs.xml:5:36:E: non SGML character number 152
nsgmls:EditArticleWithEmacs.xml:8:17:E: non SGML character number 152
...

I use Emacs with psgml mode.

I also edited an slides document with slides.dtd designed by Norman Walsh.
Some Chinese text were in the slides.xml document and it validated fine. I
am wondering why these two documents behaviored differently.  The command
used to validate is 'nsgmls -s myxml.xml', and /usr/share/sgml/xml.dcl is
declared as an SGMLDECL entry in /etc/sgml/catalog file.

Any help is much appreciated.

Followed are these two xml fragments:

slides.xml
