 From this file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Installed</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

I ran xmerl_scan("t.plist").

and get

rp(xmerl_scan:file("t.plist")).
{{xmlElement,plist,plist,[],
             {xmlNamespace,[],[]},
             [],1,
             [{xmlAttribute,version,[],[],[],
                            [{plist,1}],
                            1,[],"1.0",false}],
             [{xmlText,[{plist,1}],1,[],"\n",text},
              {xmlElement,dict,dict,[],
                          {xmlNamespace,[],[]},
                          [{plist,1}],
                          2,[],
                          [{xmlText,[{dict,2},{plist,1}],1,[],"\n\t",text},
                           {xmlElement,key,key,[],
                                       {xmlNamespace,[],[]},
                                       [{dict,2},{plist,1}],
                                       2,[],
                                       [{xmlText,[{key,2},{dict,2},{plist,1}],
                                                 1,[],"Installed",text}],
                                       [],".",undeclared},
                           {xmlText,[{dict,2},{plist,1}],3,[],"\n\t",text},
                           {xmlElement,true,true,[],
                                       {xmlNamespace,[],[]},
                                       [{dict,2},{plist,1}],
                                       4,[],[],[],".",undeclared},
                           {xmlText,[{dict,2},{plist,1}],5,[],"\n",text}],
                          [],".",undeclared},
              {xmlText,[{plist,1}],3,[],"\n",text}],
             [],".",undeclared},
 []}
ok

I am wondering why, based on the xmerl.hrl file that there is no
output for xmlDecl.  Isn't it the 1st line of the plist/xml file an
xmlDecl?  What about the second line, i.e. DOCTYPE line?

Thanks,

Wes
