Oxygen XML Forum

Hello,
I'm creating a test xml workflow from existing help system that contains a Help Feedback System. Everything works just fine in the old docs; however, when I insert the URL in the .xml doc, the first link returns an error. The second link does not.

The first ulink...
<para>Yes, this topic helped me. To let us know, <ulink type="http"
url="http://sagemasterbuilder.com/customer_c ... ordXMLtest"
>click here</ulink>.</para>
returns this error.
Description: The reference to entity "status" must end with the ';' delimiter.

The second link, which follows the first directly, does not get tagged with an error message.
<para>If not, or to submit a comment about this topic, <ulink type="http"
url="http://sagemasterbuilder.com/customer_c ... ordXMLtest"
>click here</ulink>.</para>

The only difference between them is that one returns a "Yes" response and the other returns a "No" response to the Help Feedback System collection database. I have tried inserting a ';' (semi-colon) at several places along the link, but nothing seems to work. I have tried copying the second link over the first link, but the first link always returns the error.

Does anyone have any ideas about why this is happening and/or how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
Charlie

Hello,

In XML files the & character starts an entity reference and must be followed by the entity name and the ; character which ends the entity. This is what the error message says. You have to replace the & character with the entity that represents that character (&), that is:
The errors for the second ulink element are marked after the errors of the first ulink element are fixed.

Hello Sorin,

Thanks very much for sending the code to fix the <ulink>. The link works just as it's supposed to work. I appreciate your help.
