using multiple words in enumerated attributes

[pjohnson]

Why won't two word attribute values work in a DTD using the enumerated type? For instance:<br>The following gives an error - &quot;Invalid character found in ATTLIST enumeration.&quot; The marker points at the &quot;o&quot; in the first instance of the word &quot;one&quot;.<br>&lt;!ATTLIST ELEMENT ATTRIBUTE (value one ¦ value two ¦ value three) &quot;value one&quot;&gt;<br>If the values are changed to single words (valueone, etc.) all works fine.<br>Is there a way to use two word attribute values with this method?

Aloha<br><br>I've just started using XML but I'll hazard a guess. I think your problem is you've forgotten the quotes &quot;&quot; around the attributes. If this works, please post a reply so that I know if I am understanding XML or not.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>

Thanks for the reply.<br>Unfortunately, that just moves the error marker to the first quotation mark.&nbsp;&nbsp;As I mentioned, it works with single word values (without quotation marks).<br><br>paul
