Re: [docbook-apps] XML declaration error

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

It is possible that the error message is misleading.  The line number 1 it
is referring to may be line 1 of one of your entities.  Is it possible that
you are referring to a graphic entity when you meant an xml entity?  If it
is trying to read a graphics file as text, it will indeed think the byte
sequence is not UTF-8.  Can you validate the file by other means?
