  Hi,
~
  while trying to scrape, e.g., this page:
~
  http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18203
~
  by using a custom Document Handler, I first download it and then tidy
it using JTidy
~
  Everything seems OK in a browser as an XML document and JTidy reports:
~
Tidy (vers 4th August 2000) Parsing "InputStream"

InputStream: Doctype given is "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
InputStream: Document content looks like HTML 4.01 Transitional
no warnings or errors were found
~
  The thing is that SAX is stumbling on a line that looks totally
inoffensive to my understanding telling me:
~
  SAXParseException: The declaration for the entity "ContentType" must
end with '>'.
~
  Here is an outline of the involved part in my code. Could you spot
where my mistake is?
~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
// __
   try{
    SAXParserFactory SxPrsr = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
    SxPrsr.setNamespaceAware(false);
    SxPrsr.setValidating(false);

// __
    GutPgInfoHndlr00 GutHndlr = new GutPgInfoHndlr00();

    XMLReader parser = SxPrsr.newSAXParser().getXMLReader();

    parser.setContentHandler(GutHndlr);
    parser.setErrorHandler(GutHndlr);

// __
    Tidy tidy = new Tidy();
    tidy.setNumEntities(true);
    tidy.setXmlOut(true);
    tidy.setErrout(new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(aTidyErrFl), true));

// __
    int iIxCnt = 0, iSubDirs, iFls;
    String[] aFls;
    String aURL, aFOS;
    File FlDir;
    File Fl;
    String aDir = "/media/hda4/GUTW/GUTDOWN02";
    HTMLFileFilter00 HTMLFls = new HTMLFileFilter00();
// __
    iSubDirs = aSubDirs.length;
    iSubDirs = 1;
    for(int i = 0; (i < iSubDirs); ++i){
     FlDir = new File(aDir, aSubDirs[i]);
     if(FlDir.exists() && FlDir.isDirectory()){
      aFls = FlDir.list(HTMLFls);
// __
      iFls = aFls.length;
      iFls = 1;
      for(int j = 0; (j < iFls); ++j){
       Fl = new File(FlDir, aFls[j]);
       if(Fl.exists() && Fl.isFile()){
        aURL = "file://" + Fl.getAbsolutePath();
// __ first tidying page
        BIS = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(new
URL(aURL).getFile()));
        aFOS = Fl.getAbsolutePath() + ".jtidied";
        FOS = new FileOutputStream(aFOS);
        tidy.parse(BIS, FOS);
// __
        FOS.close(); BIS.close();
// __ then parsing the tidied up data feed
        parser.parse(aFOS);
// __
        if((new File(aFOS)).delete()){ System.out.println("// __ |" +
aFOS + "| deleted!"); }
// __
        ++iIxCnt;
       }// (Fl.exists() && Fl.isFile())
      }// j
     }// (FlDir.exists() && FlDir.isDirectory())
    }// i
   }catch(ParserConfigurationException PrsConfX){
PrsConfX.printStackTrace(System.err); }
     catch(SAXException SAXX){ SAXX.printStackTrace(System.err); }
      catch(IOException IOX){ IOX.printStackTrace(System.err); }
~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
~
  and here is the SAX Exception and "GutPgInfo00Test.java:96" is th
eline where I go:
~
  parser.parse(aFOS);
