I'm not much of an expert on character sets, but the default character encoding in XML is UTF-8, not ISO 8859 as with HTML. Therefore, entering ISO characters will not translate correctly, and this might account for your problems. To specify that the document contents is encoded in ISO 8859-1 (ie., ISO Latin 1), modify the document heading to say: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> Cheers, Alexander Staubo mailto:alex@mop.no http://www.mop.no/~alex/

FYI. As far as I have had time to test this, it seems to comedown to the pyexpat-parser.
Tests with the pyexpattest.py scripts on the document breaks in exactly the sameway as reported by Magnus Heino.

Hi.
I just read Amos great article at http://www.xml.com/pub/1999/12/zope/index.html
I downloaded Sample.zexp and XMLDocument-1.0a4.tgz, and started to create some sample pages of my own.
Maybe I'm wrong, because I don't know much xml, but XMLDocument-1.0a4.tgz seems to have problems handling the swedish characters åäö.
This document:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <faq> <entry> <test>Långt svårt öppningshål</test> </entry> </faq>
displays this error :
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed at line 4
when I try to save it in Zope.
Change the text to "Långt svårt oppningshål" and it says:
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag at line 5
"Långt svårt oppningshal" saves just ok...
