Re: Help with XmlPullParserException

[Phillip Farber]

I just looked at this again and I think the problem is that the message 
is referring to the garbage string of characters "2&#1a" where &#1a 
looks like a decimal numeric character reference but the letter 'a' is a 
hex digit.  I'll have to go back to my OCR cleanup routine ...  Thanks 
for reading.

Hello all,

I'm indexing a body of OCR and encountered this exception. Apparently 
it's some kind of XML parser error.  Out of thousands of documents, 
which I create with significant processing to make sure they are XML 
compliant, only this one appears to have a problem.  But can anyone tell 
me what this specific error message means?


SEVERE: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: character reference (with 
decimal value) may not contain a (position: START_TAG seen ...dieses aus

Thanks!
