I'm afraid it's not proper reporting here.

$ ruby code1.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/rexml/document.rb:187:in `build': undefined
method `add_element' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/rexml/document.rb:44:in `initialize'
from code1.rb:4:in `new'
from code1.rb:4

$ ruby code2.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/rexml/document.rb:187:in `build': undefined
method `add_element' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/rexml/document.rb:44:in `initialize'
from code2.rb:21:in `new'
from code2.rb:21


However, code3.rb worked well.

REXML could not parse DTD.
I could not even run examples including DTD from REXML tutorial page.[1]

Any thought?

The heredoc input string and two example files
(bibliography.xml and bibliography2.xml) contain:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>

causing REXML to barf. Changing to ISO-8859-1
(or removing) fixes. ISO-8859-15 is unsupported.

I should email Koen but maybe you're in contact, James :-?

No. I just happened to hear about the article and thought it worth a
mention here. I skimmed it, but did not read through it, and have no
contact with the author.

But I posted a quick comment on the site.

Splendid idea! One of those interactive doo-dahs.
Wish I'd written in English, now.
Barf must be a word I picked up here

Thanks,
