It seems more prone to get confused by non-entity-ized '<' and '>' than what the rest of us are using. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate

Anyway, I've committed some cleanup in HEAD. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

Does it allow literal > '<' in text nodes? In most places I looked in our docs we seem to use > '<' as I would have expected. It appears to me that the tools will silently take < (and also &) as literal characters, *if* what follows them happens to not look too much like a tag or entity :-(. Pretty ugly. The particular cases that were biting Devrim seemed to all be occurrences of <> which perhaps is an allowed tag in his release. I found out that -wxml will cause openjade to warn about these cases. It turns on a boatload of other warnings that we probably don't care about, so I'm not going to recommend using it by default, but it enabled me to find a lot of problem spots just now. Oh, another interesting behavior that was turned up by this --- apparently you can get away with leaving off the ";" in "<", because we had done so in a few places. -wxml catches that too. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
