Invalid character in tag

What does XML_INVTAG mean?

This error indicates that an XML tag contains characters that are not allowed by XML naming conventions. XML tags must adhere to a strict set of character rules to be considered valid and parsable.

• An XML tag contains characters not permitted by XML naming rules (e.g., spaces, special symbols other than hyphen or underscore).
• The tag name includes characters that conflict with reserved XML syntax.
• Data corruption in the configuration file creating invalid tag names.
• The parser has strict validation for XML tag identifiers.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Remove invalid characters from the XML tag name in the configuration file.

2. 2

   Replace invalid characters with permitted ones (e.g., underscore for space).

3. 3

   Ensure XML tag names start with a letter or underscore and contain only letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, and periods.

4. 4

   Review the specific XML element definition causing the error.

5. 5

   Validate the XML file against a formal XML schema if one is provided.
