    <p>I have an xml-like file that doesn't have the quotation marks in the attribute <code>attribute="xxx"</code> and it doesn't have a the standard <code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;</code> header so when I tried to parse with <code>minidom</code> or <code>elementtree</code>, they complained the file as <code>not well-formed</code>: </p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import xml.etree.ElementTree as et &gt;&gt;&gt; tree = et.parse(infile) &gt;&gt;&gt; Traceback (most recent call last): xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 1, column 25 </code></pre> <p><strong>How do I read the input file? Or how could I make the xml well-formed?</strong></p> <p>My input file looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;contextfile concordance=brown&gt; &lt;context filename=br-a01 paras=yes&gt; &lt;p pnum=1&gt; &lt;s snum=1&gt; &lt;wf cmd=ignore pos=DT&gt;The&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done rdf=group pos=NNP lemma=group wnsn=1 lexsn=1:03:00:: pn=group&gt;Fulton_County_Grand_Jury&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=VB lemma=say wnsn=1 lexsn=2:32:00::&gt;said&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=NN lemma=friday wnsn=1 lexsn=1:28:00::&gt;Friday&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=ignore pos=DT&gt;an&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=NN lemma=investigation wnsn=1 lexsn=1:09:00::&gt;investigation&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=ignore pos=IN&gt;of&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=NN lemma=atlanta wnsn=1 lexsn=1:15:00::&gt;Atlanta&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=ignore pos=POS&gt;'s&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=JJ lemma=recent wnsn=2 lexsn=5:00:00:past:00&gt;recent&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=NN lemma=primary_election wnsn=1 lexsn=1:04:00::&gt;primary_election&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=VB lemma=produce wnsn=4 lexsn=2:39:01::&gt;produced&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;punc&gt;``&lt;/punc&gt; &lt;wf cmd=ignore pos=DT&gt;no&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=NN lemma=evidence wnsn=1 lexsn=1:09:00::&gt;evidence&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;punc&gt;''&lt;/punc&gt; &lt;wf cmd=ignore pos=IN&gt;that&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=ignore pos=DT&gt;any&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=NN lemma=irregularity wnsn=1 lexsn=1:04:00::&gt;irregularities&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;wf cmd=done pos=VB lemma=take_place wnsn=1 lexsn=2:30:00::&gt;took_place&lt;/wf&gt; &lt;punc&gt;.&lt;/punc&gt; &lt;/s&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/context&gt; &lt;/contextfile&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
