SER Messages

SER-BADCHAR

Message Text

Character cannot be represented in desired output encoding: variable1

Cause

A character that cannot be represented in the desired output encoding appears in a context where character references are not allowed (for example, the character occurs in the name of an element), or a character cannot be serialized because it is not a legal UTF-8 or UTF-16 character.

Response

Determine the bad character and, if possible, replace it with a valid one (or just delete it). Or avoid serialization of the bad character in the current context.

SER-BADHTMLCHAR

Message Text

Invalid HTML character between #x7F and #x9F: variable1

Cause

The document being serialized as HTML contains an invalid HTML character between #x7F and #x9F.

Avoid serialization of the invalid character as HTML. The document may be serializable as XML.

SER-BADHTMLPI

Message Text
