Re: XML invalid token

It sounds like your XML has the ´ ACUTE ACCENT character encoded in ISO-8859-1 as 0xB4, even though it should be 0xC2 0xB4 in UTF-8. This usually happens when people produce XML by concatenating strings instead of using a proper XML library that is aware of encoding.

Is my assumption correct? Then you have to fix the problem with preprocessing in order to make an standard compliant XML stream. Either replace the byte as above, or if it really affects all bytes in the range 0x80 to 0xFF, simply change the encoding declaration in the XML prolog, e.g.:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

That's the answer I was looking for. I change the encoding from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 and the error disappears. This gives me something to ask the LaTexML folx as to why they're producing XML documents claiming to be utf8 when they aren't. Many thanks, oh Nameless One! Update - I even found that latexml has a --inputencoding=iso-8859-1 option to do just that. Now to figure out how to automatically detect a LaTex file's encoding ...
