Description Yuri 2014-11-11 19:37:06 UTC 
I am trying to use --dtdvalid option (which calls xmlParseDTD), and it fails on the standard html-4.01 DTD:

$ xmllint --html --dtdvalid file:///home/yuri/strict.dtd index.html
<...skipped html errors...>
file:///home/yuri/strict.dtd:81: parser error : xmlParseEntityDecl: entity ContentType not terminated
    -- media type, as per [RFC2045]
    ^
file:///home/yuri/strict.dtd:81: parser error : Content error in the external subset
    -- media type, as per [RFC2045]
    ^
Could not parse DTD file:///home/yuri/strict.dtd

DTD is from http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd All other DTDs I tried also had similar problems.

libxml2-2.9.1_1 (not in the list of versions in this bugzilla)

You're trying to load an SGML DTD. Try the XHTML DTDs: https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html
