Description of Problem: When I try to validate an XHTML page, I get this: $ nsgmls -E10 -s -wxml -c /usr/share/sgml/html.soc foo.html nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:25:21:E: "402" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:29:21:E: "913" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:30:21:E: "914" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:31:21:E: "915" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:33:21:E: "916" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:35:21:E: "917" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:36:21:E: "918" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:37:21:E: "919" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:38:21:E: "920" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:<URL>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent:40:21:E: "921" is not a character number in the document character set nsgmls:I: maximum number of errors (10) reached; change with -E option $ the page starts with <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> the error message appear to indicate that nsgmls does not support multibyte characters. AFAIK, openjade does have multibyte support please re-build it with that support included.

Hammond" <hammond.albany.edu> My guess is that you are using a version of SP built without enabling multi-byte characters. AFAIK, multi-byte with SP is still limited to two bytes, which, long term, is a problem. If, however, the charset for a document instance is plane 0, a multi-byte build should work with XHTML provided that SP sees its private version of the SGML declaration pertaining to all XML document types. One way to provide this might be to make that declaration the SGMLDECL for the catalog that is hard-wired into your build. -- Bill
it appears that the problem is in a different area: when I install the files from <http://www.htmlhelp.org/tools/validator/offline/sgml-lib.tar.gz> (which should all be in the sgml-common package!) everything works just fine.
Where exactly do you install them?
/usr/share/sgml with (possibly) appropriate modifications of catalogs in /etc/sgml (just like all the stuff in sgml-common)

Changing product version to rawhide as it is still broken in devel branch and FC-5 is EOL. Changing summary text as OpenSP/OpenJade IS compiled with multibyte support- so summary is wrong. Problem is most probably in missing or not registered xhtml DTD's/stylesheets catalogs - so most probably wrong component as well - but I will check it.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
There must be some environments variables set before one can process XML files in non-ASCII encodings: export SP_CHARSET_FIXED=yes SP_ENCODING=xml should fix the problem. It's described in /usr/share/doc/opensp-1.5.2/xml.htm , with more details about character sets, encodings and such stuff in /usr/share/doc/opensp-1.5.2/charset.htm .
Additionally - you are validating xml with html.soc - you should use xml.soc for validating. Command "nsgmls -E10 -s -wxml -c /usr/share/sgml/xml.soc foo.html" will proceed correctly (if you finish the xhtml file correctly). Closing NOTABUG - feel free to clarify add comments, if you are not satisfied with the resolution.
