[cxml-devel] Parsing yields TEXT elements with #\Newline #\Tab
by Marco Antoniotti 07 Dec '09

Hi I have been (successfully) parsed some SBML files with CXML on LWM. However I noticed the following effect. I get all my actual RUNE-DOM::ELEMENTs interleaved with "bogus" TEXT elements containing just #\Newline and #\Tab (or more #\Tab). This is obviously an artifact of parsing. (See attached figure from a 15 minutes CXML browser I whipped up) What I do not know it's (1) whether this makes sense or not, or (2) whether it is dependent on my platform (LWM). Does this make any sense to you? Note that I was observing the sam effect with CL-XML. Cheers -- Marco Antoniotti

Thanks, but that's still a newline within an element. It's a fine point, and not terribly important, but ideally we want is something that produces:  Cheers, - Steve --- On Sat, 6/20/09, David Lichteblau <david(a)lichteblau.com> wrote: From: David Lichteblau <david(a)lichteblau.com> Subject: Re: [cxml-devel] cxml:doctype function To: "Nunez Steve" <steve_nunez(a)yahoo.com> Cc: cxml-devel(a)common-lisp.net Date: Saturday, June 20, 2009, 3:20 PM Quoting Nunez Steve (steve_nunez(a)yahoo.com) > Thanks.

[cxml-devel] cxml:doctype function

Greetings All, Does anyone have an example of using the cxml:doctype function? The code indicates that the last argument is of type puri:uri, which I think I have in the following: (cxml:doctype "suite" "suite" (puri:uri "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd")) however any use of this generates an error in CCL: value #http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd> is not of the expected type SEQUENCE. I'm using slime, but not sure if this is related. The same error occurs at the command line. Unfortunately, the documentation for puri seems to have moved, so beyond looking at the code (that I'm unfamiliar with), the best I can do is guess. I know this function is relatively new, so am wondering if it's been widely tested. Are there any alternatives to writing a XML doctype? I need to write quite a few, sometimes large, XML test suites for testng. Cheers, - SteveN
