xml-parsing-error (xml-verarbeitungsfehler) in links!?

[netzkobold]

hey there,

very often i have links, that the xml parsing engine doesn't like:

http://www.netzkobold.com/index.php?/feeds/atom.xml

so i get the error message:

"XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: nicht wohlgeformt"

but these are the external links i have to use, cause they are just like that.

shall i just ignore it or is there any other way to solve this parsing error?

thanks in advance for your answers

You must either properly use XHTML encoding for your links, so that you write

Code: Select all

http://host/mylink.php?link1=1&link2=2

instead of just

Code: Select all

http://host/mylink.php?link1=1&link2=2

(Note that the "&" character is not a well-formed entity).

Or you must use the XHTML Cleanup plugin, which will fix those kinds of links for you automatically. But that automagic does only work on 90% of all XHTML errors...

The problem of XML validity is, that Serendipity can only show valid XML if you enter valid XHTML in your entries.

dear garvin,

thank you very much for your quick answer.

but where can i do this extra "coding"?

while writing a blog post i only use existing external links like this "http://www.analyzeblood.be/index.php?ty ... TMJPMFYVBY" and there are no changes to be done.

could the activated "top exits" plugin cause any problems?

hm, but the code there is like you said with "&" in between <a href="http://www.netzkobold.com/exit.php?url_ ... ntry_id=60" title="http://www.analyzeblood.be/index.php?ty ... TMJPMFYVBY">

ah, the "title-tag" causes the problem here, but this is also done by serendipity, not me. can i change that anywhere?

cheers, netzkobold

Netzobkold,

please read my posting again. Using "&" in your links is wrong. You need to use "&" instead.

When you edit the entry, how does your code look like? It may not look like this:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.analyzeblood.be/index.php?type=IF&ID=82023&pwd=TVTMJPMFYVBY">Analyzeblood</a>

Instead it needs to look like

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.analyzeblood.be/index.php?type=IF&ID=82023&pwd=TVTMJPMFYVBY">Analyzeblood</a>
