302.0. "Correctly tagged Table throws spanner in works" by GALVIA::FLOOD (ghost writers in the sky....) Fri Mar 23 1990 14:34

I'm having a peculiar problem with a table in one of my appendixes. I
first tried to build the book in it's entirety, but after several hours
it still hadn't got past the W-level warning message about LMF tags. By
a process of elimination, I narrowed the problem down to my last
appendix. Further elimination using comments pinpointed the problem to a
table within the appendix.

I processed the appendix separately, with the table commented out, and
lo and behold, everything worked perfectly. I then processed the table
on its own... and it too worked perfectly. I'm baffled. I put the table
back in, and now it has stopped processing at the LMF tag warning once
again.

If you think you can help me root out the problem you can copy the
following files:

These files are DIGITAL INTERNAL USE ONLY 

  HNGOVR::PUBU$:[FLOOD.TEMP]APPENDIX_F.SDML  !The appendix, table commented
                            APPF_TAB.SDML    !The table, plus additional tags
                            PROFILE_NEW.SDML !Profile for APPENDIX_F
                            PROFILE_TAB.SDML !Profile for APPF_TAB

I  must admit that this has me mystified!!! See for yourself.

Forgot to mention what doctype I was using.....

    There is a known problem with online footnotes (documented in the
    1.2B release notes) that causes the tag translator to hang in some
    circumstances. See the release notes and note 285 to see determine
    if your problem is the same.
    
    Thanks,

Bingo,

Thanks Mary, guess it pays to read the release notes. Seems it's not
only <HEADn> tags that cause the problem, but also <TABLE> tags.

Grateful for your help,

Kevin.
