In version 4.5, Leo changed to using a sax parser for .leo files. This can cause problems if your .leo file contains invalid characters. Bugs in previous versions of Leo permitted these bad charactgers to appear. The sax parser complains that these characters are not valid in .xml files. Remove these invalid characters as follows: • Run Leo from a console, and load the .leo file. Near the bottom of the error message you will see a line like: SAXParseException: :123:25: not well-formed (invalid token) This line reports a bad character at character 25 of line 123. • Open the .leo file in an external editor. The Scite editor, http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html, is a good choice because it clearly shows non-printing characters. Remove the invalid character, save the .leo file. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all invalid characters are gone.
