validation error using xinclude in tei file
validation error using xinclude in tei file
Hi,
I have a tei file with a long <encodingDesc> structured like the following example:
The file is validated using 'http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/cu ... ei_all.rng'
When I replace the encodingDesc with content from an external file using xi:include, the validation fails.
path/to/file.xml:
Validation error: 'element "encodingDesc" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element "encodingDesc", "profileDesc", "revisionDesc" or "xenoData"'
I have been able to include other elements succesfully using xi:include, the error so far only appears when I try to include the encodingDesc.
Any ideas why this happens?
Thanks in advance!

Re: validation error using xinclude in tei file
Hi,
You should add the namespace declaration xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" on the "encodingDesc" element defined in the separate file, otherwise when the xi:include is expanded it's considered to be in no namespace.
This is why the error is ambiguous, the element "encodingDesc" is allowed there but only if it has a certain TEI namespace.

Re: validation error using xinclude in tei file
Great, works like a charm! I have suspected an namespace issue, but for some reason did not try to put the namespace in the element to be included... 
Thanks a lot!
