Oxygen XML Forum

Hi experts,

Sorry if this question is not too related, but our team is really stuck here.

The issue is with special characters, we are using Oxygen to connect to our eXist database, and edit the files stored there. In Oxygen, we could add in many special characters like "lambda" etc, which is good. However, when we saved it back to eXist, eXist will always raise an error "The entity lambda was referenced, but not declared". However, adding characters like " Λ" will work.

Could any experts suggest some solutions? Either to eXist or to get around this in Oxygen?

Thanks!

Robert

Hello,

Older versions of eXist had some issues with DTDs. What version of eXist are you using?

I'm guessing that the entity declaration can no longer be located after saving the file to eXist and the entity reference(λ) is left dangling.
Numeric character references(like Λ), work by themselves, the character code provides all the necessary information, no declaration is necessary.

Can you please send us a sample of such an XML file with a λ entity to our support email address: support@oxygenxml.com ?
I'm especially interested in the DOCTYPE declaration from this XML file, where I'm assuming there's the entity declaration or a reference to a DTD where the entity is declared.

Regards,
Adrian
