Sorry for the duplicate post, but sending a mail to to: emacs-nxml-mode@yahoogroups.com did not work (the address of "M-x nxhtml-bug-report"). Maybe somebody here can point me in the right direction. This is a bug report for nXhtml mode. This bug report will be sent to the nXhtml maintainers, not to your local site managers! Please write in English if possible, because the nXhtml maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug (it may also be helpful to include an *EXAMPLE FILE*!): Hi, is the attached xml file (simple.xml) really invalid (as indicated by nxhtml) or is this a bug in nxhtml? describe-char on the first symbol gives (I replaced the BOM part with XXX): ,---- | character: XXX (325983, #o1174537, #x4f95f, U+FEFF) | charset: mule-unicode-e000-ffff (Unicode characters of the range | U+E000..U+FFFF.) | code point: #x72 #x5F | syntax: w which means: word | buffer code: #x9C #xF3 #xF2 #xDF | file code: #xEF #xBB #xBF (encoded by coding system utf-8-dos) | display: by this font (glyph code) | -outline-Courier | New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1 (#xFEFF) | | There is an overlay here: | From 1 to 2 | category rng-error | help-echo "Missing space after name" | priority 1 | | | There are text properties here: | fontified t `---- describe-current-coding-system also looks correct: ,---- | Coding system for saving this buffer: | u -- utf-8-dos (alias of mule-utf-8-dos) `---- BTW: When invoking `M-x nxhtml-report-bug' I get the error: let*: Symbol's value as variable is void: nxhtml:version Emacs version(s): GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-03-26 on RELEASE GNU Emacs 23.0.60.4 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2008-05-08 on golem nxhtml version: nxhtml-1.29-080515 Regards Patrick
