Hey guys, having a slight issue with MAXML, if I use notepad xml 2007, maxml mod won't read anything from it, deems it not an XML file.

Only if I create an xml file myself in normal notepad, but for obvious reasons I would need to use an editor for my XML file creation.

Is this a permanent thing or is there something I am missing in terms of getting maxml to read files created by 2007 notepadxml

Maybe it's not handling the file encoding properly.

If you open a notemap xml 2007 in the standard windows notepad, does it look OK in there or is evertything run together on a single line?

How would that affect it being valid (or not) XML?

if i open an xml made in notepad xml 2007, in normal notepad, it looks quite fine. fully tagged everything.

I'd open the two files in a hex editor to compare them. Or I'm sure you can use notepad++ and choose to 'show all characters' to help compare too, although this may or may not be as helpful as a hex editor.

There must be something different in there.

libxml is quite fine to read it btw. Just saying its not the file itself.

It might be BOM characters at the start of the file that is confusing MAXML.
