Error Message: Failed to load Master TOC

[Dinka]

Hi,

I've tried to build a primary output and got this message: "Failed to load Master ToC [Data at the root level is invalid Line 1 position 1]"
The project already has a TOC an no changes were made to the content.
Does anyone know how to solve this error?

Thanks.

Firstly do you have a Master TOC defined? I've noticed Flare will sometimes just get rid of it and there won't be a master one at all.... that's probably not the issue though.

If you do - open the file in a text editor and check the root level XML tag is correct, like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

If not - that's a good place to start (correct it). Are you using source control? UTF-16 issues springs to mind...

Hi Helen,

Yes, that seemed to be a problem. I've changed the encoding to "utf-8" and now I am able to produce the html output.

Thanks again!
