SGML Parsing error - ATA iSpec 2200

[Les Smalley]

I'm not familiar with those DTDs, but there is something out of whack in how your FM file is being marked up, or perhaps exported.  You can make sure that FM writes out end tags by checking the SGML declaration (see what is used in the application definitions file) and setting MINIMIZE SHORTTAG to NO in the FEATURES section

What are revst and revend supposed to denote as empty elements - are they intended to be some sort of markers, do they have required attributes, etc.

If you have access to the EDD, make sure that the element definitions
for revst, revend and para are correct. Especially para - does it (or a
parent element) EXCLUDE revst or revend?  Exclusions take precedence over inclusions...


Is your application using the default Import/Export client, or was there some customized client added?  If the latter, speak with the programmer as this error could be caused by the custom client, plus the client could be enhanced to specifically address this error.   Also look at the Read/Write rules - there could be problems there as well.

Hope this helps,

– Les

Hi
 
I'm working with several ATA iSpec 2200 DTDs and trying to save my .fm
files to SGML and receiving the following error:
 
   "End tag (para) implied by the start tag (revst); not declared minimizable"
 
This is my sgml output:
 
    <subtask chapnbr = "25" sectnbr = "24" subjnbr = "01" func = "000"
seq = "000" pgblknbr = "4" chg = "N" key = "C25_S24_S01_P04_ID9" revdate
= "20070831">
    <effect effrg = "001,  051-052,  101-106,  206-208, 211-221"></effect>
    <list1>
    <l1item>
    <para>Installations of the APU Generator
    </para>
    <list2>
    <l2item>
    <para>Replace the .....
    </para>
    </l2item>

    </para>
    </l2item>
    </list2>
    </l1item>
    </list1>
    </subtask>

The <revst> and <revend> elements are inclusions in the DTD and are defined as:
 
    <!ELEMENT revst     - O EMPTY                                      >
    <!ELEMENT revend    - O EMPTY                                    >
 
Please HELP ME!
