Hello, thank you for hetting in touch, and sorry to hear that there is a problem. If the file is iXBRL then I am afraid that Diwen.Xbrl cannot handle it yet. If it is a normal XBRL file then I would see the whole file (or at least a bigger part of it) if possible so I can investigate. (Of course I dont want to see anything confidential) — John

Hi, thank you for your quick answer.
Our file is (i mean) a normal xbrl, the problem is in the keyword CommentoDisponibilitaUtilizzoPatrimonioNetto
How could i send you a sample xbrl file?
Thank you

If it doesn’t contain anything secret, you could upload it to filesharing site (pastebin or something) or you can send it straight to me John.nordberg@gmail.com John From: FabioBo Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2017 8:34 To: dgm9704/Xoxo Cc: John Nordberg; Comment Subject: Re: [dgm9704/Xoxo] The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared(#58) Hi, thank you for your quick answer.

Silly me, I was answering from my phone and didn't realize that you can attach file here to the issue. (provided that it doesn't contain anything sensitive)

I got the file now thank you.
The problem is that Diwen.Xbrl sees the content of fact which is html and tries to process it like it was part of the xbrl.
That is the reason for the error you see, and you would see countless others once you got past that.
Options for getting around this:

• encode any content (not part of the xbrl) that is markup (html) with function such as HTMLEncode ?
• enclose any markup content in CDATA section ?
• check if the specifications for the specific taxonomy / reporting framework have some clues as how to handle this content (component has only been tested with EBA and EIOPA ITS and some SBR)
• modify Diwen.Xbrl to better understand that specific type of XBRL reporting ?
  I need to spend a few hours on my day job, but will get back to this.

Did you received xbrl file enclosed to my previous e-mail?

Hi, currently we have "replaced" &nbsp from html portion of text because of we are only interested on a few reporting information and not in this text.
Here is our "workaround":
var first = Instance.FromFile(document); String xmlString = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(document); xmlString = xmlString.Replace("&nbsp", ""); var first = Instance.FromXml(xmlString);
we have removed "&nbsp" from original document and replace Instance.FromFile with Instance.FromXml
Thank you
