Subject: Re: [relax-ng-comment] Definition of mixed pattern?

My understanding is that your pattern _should_ match instances such as the one
above. ( But then, I've been known to be wrong before!) The <text> pattern
will match any number of sequential text nodes, so the above instance could be
considered as an interleaving of the two sequences
<font/>
and
"Some text" "Some other text"
the latter of which is (conceptually) reduced to a single text node.
Granted it would _not_ match instances with multiple <font/> elements, such as
<body>Some text<font/>some <font/> other text</body>
which both your DTD and your rng pattern would. To achieve this you would
need to define your mixed pattern as:
<mixed>
<zeroOrMore>
<ref name="font"/>
</zeroOrMore>
</mized>
or perhaps modify the "ref" define pattern itself to suit.
cheers,
gary
