Subject: RE: [xsl] Encoding problem or what else?
However when I run my transformation one of the two produces
the following
saxon error:
SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: Document root element
is missing.
It's actually a Xerces error: Saxon's just the messenger.
I've never worked out exactly what it means, it seems to be something of a
catch-all error to indicate that the file exists but Xerces hasn't been
able
to start parsing it. I'm a little surprised that it should be produced for
an encoding problem, but it's not impossible, as it does seem to cover
quite
a range of conditions.

Hello Micheal,
i checked the file with an HEX editor and it turned out that there are three
bytes whose hex code is EF BB BF at the beginning of the offending file.
I guess this must be the reason why the parser is complaining, though I am
still not clear if this is some sort of multi-byte character or just some
junk that happens to be there. If I open the file with Wordpad, these
characters do not show up at all.
Thanks,
Flavio
