fckdtd2js failing

[Jonathan Neal]

I've been trying to build my own DTD for CKEditor, but FCKdtd2js.jar does not appear to be working properly. I receive the following error:

>java -jar FCKdtd2js.jar dtd\html401-strict.dtd
At line 81, column 8: Expected GT instead of NMTOKEN(--)

slightly fixed dtd

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

The problem isn't the FCKdtd2js.jar tool, but the fact that the html401-strict.dtd is not a valid XML document. You can compare with the version that I've uploaded that by fixing the syntax it can go on processing the data. With enough time it should be possible to provide a fixed .dtd for HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1

[Jonathan Neal]

So the SVN repository of FCKdtd2js can't actually convert a single known DTD file? And the official DTD files should be considered "invalid" by this DTD tool?

Also, the "xhtml11.dtd" contains an escaped HTML file, not the official DTD.

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

The FCKdtd2js is just a tool. Even after using it you'll need to edit the output code manually. If it can't parse those .dtd it means that no one has cared about them.

You can adjust them as I started to do or create your own tool that it's able to handle them in the current way.

FCKdtd2js is no longer supported.
