Hmmm. This is what I got.

C:\Rng\Examples>cat mixed.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <example>The quick <a/> brown fox <b/> jumped over the lazy dog 5 times.<c/></example>

C:\Rng\Examples>cat mixed.rng <element name="example" xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"> <interleave> <text/> <element name="a"><empty/></element> <element name="b"><empty/></element> <element name="c"><empty/></element> </interleave> </element>

C:\Rng\Examples>java -jar c:\lib\jing.jar mixed.rng mixed.xml

C:\Rng\Examples>java -jar c:\lib\msv.jar mixed.rng mixed.xml start parsing a grammar. validating mixed.xml the document is valid.

C:\Rng\Examples>

One problem I saw in your instance was that you probably intended </b> to be <b/>.

Hope it helps,

Mike

P.S. This also works. It's syntax sugar for <interleave><text/> pattern </interleave>

<element name="example" xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"> <mixed> <element name="a"><empty/></element> <element name="b"><empty/></element> <element name="c"><empty/></element> </mixed> </element>

How do you mix restricted text patterns with empty elements (used to represent escaped text)?

<example> The quick <a/> brown fox </b> <a/> jumped <c/> over the lazy dog 5 times. <c/> </example>

I've tried variants on

<element name="example"> <zeroOrMore> <choice> <list> <oneOrMore> <data type="token"> <param name="pattern">[a-zA-Z0-9]+</param> </data> </oneOrMore> </list>

<element name="a"> <empty/> </element> <element name="b"> <empty/> </element> <element name="c"> <empty/> </element> </zeroOrMore> </element>

and with <interleave>, but both MSV and Jing give cryptic error messages.

[ For extra gratitude can anyone tell me whether XSD can cope with this? ]

Thanks in advance

Daniel
