Error reported in schema when using xsi:schemaLocation

[sderrick]

I have a schema, if I load up the rnc file Oxygen says its OK.

If I use this at the top of my xml file the schema is used, no errors and Oxygen validates with the schema

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?oxygen RNGSchema="../schemas/mbel.rnc" type="compact"?>
<?oxygen SCHSchema="../schemas/mbel.isosch"?>
<TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" xml:lang="en">


If I use the xsi:schemaLocation attribute in the TEI tag Oxygen reports a error in the rnc file? "Content is not allowed in prolog"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<TEI xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3schools.com ../schemas/mbel.rnc">
<teiHeader>

Am I not using the xsi:schemaLocation attribute correctly?

below is the top of the rnc file, where the error is reported

Hello,

xsi:schemaLocation can only be used with XML Schema(.xsd). The xsi prefix kind of gives it away since it is mapped to the XML Schema instance namespace.

Oxygen currently supports the W3C XML model processing instruction for schema associations:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-model/
So, instead of the "oxygen" processing instructions (deprecated / Oxygen specific) you can now use these standard PIs. Oxygen already uses these by default when associating a schema with the Document > Schema > Associate Schema action.

Regards,
Adrian

I knew it was pilot error!

That did the trick, thanks..
