xmerl - \n\r

[Sanjaya Vitharana]

Hi

Error:
19> xmerl_scan:file('f1.xml',[{validation,true}]).
1007- fatal: {invalid_target_name," version=\""}
** exited: {fatal,{{invalid_target_name," version=\""},
                   {file,'f1.xml'},
                   {line,2},
                   {col,6}}} **
20> 

Reason: "escape characters" (\n\r) or "Space" in the beginning of file as below.

\r\n

</IVR>

Question:
1.) <?xml version="1.0"?> -- must be in the staring point of a xml file ???
2.) how to avoid such situation ??? (without checking all xml files). Are there any way to tell parser to avoid those characters ???

Thanks in advance
