Hi,

I combined the Oracle, FlavOracle and spoilers into one database:
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~dskloet/magic

I also made an xml-document out of it which you can get at
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~dskloet/magic/magic_xml.zip

Please let me know what you think of it.

one problem:
My browser complains about an —. Does anyone know what to do
about this?

Looks quite useful and helpful. You have too much time on your
hands.

One very minor thing I noticed was that the page for Zur's Weirding
(http://www.cs.vu.nl/~dskloet/magic/card.php?name=Zur%27s+Weirding)
had a backslash in the page title (and presumably did so for any
single-quotes in card names, although I didn't check).

At the risk of the thread going very off-topic...
That's 'cause you can only use named entity references that are
declared in the DTD of the document that you're using. HTML, for
example, declares it. You can solve this by one of:
- Create a DTD for your document that declares —
- Encode an em-dash as "native" utf-8 (or some other character
encoding declared at the beginning of the document in the
<?xml ...?> prolog.
- Write an em-dash as — or —

For once, IE actually catches an error

Or, if you don't care too much, replace it with a single (-) or double dash
(--).
