			Can anyone help me? I'm trying to use the command-line renderer, and I keep getting this error:
 
			
 My XML file looks like this: 
 The line in bold is apparently the problem, if I'm reading the error message correctly. As near as I can tell from the example XMLs I've seen online, this syntax should be correct. (I've tried it with and without the space before the slash, as this seems to vary from example to example.) I'm using filter Forge 10.007, Professional Edition.  |

			The problem is in the 7th line that starts with "Filter". This tag is not properly closed (is missing the trailing slash symbol), so the XML parser throws an error.
 
			You can use third-party tools to check your XML syntax, like this one: https://www.xmlvalidation.com/index.php  |

			Ah! Thank you, GMM. That explains why I wasn't getting any FF-specific google search results for this error. It's a more general XML error. Makes sense. Do I just put </Filter> after the Preset line?
 
			What's interesting is, I can't find a single example of Filter Forge command-line XML online that closes that darn Filter tag or indents for it in any way. For instance, the page at https://www.filterforge.com/more/help/...derer.html appears to contain this example code: 
 I copied and pasted that code verbatim, and I don't see a single /Filter anywhere in there. And the same is generally true for examples I find that other people have posted here in the forum. I've tried viewing the above URL with Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer.  |

			HA! Never mind. I figured it out. I forgot to add a space backslash after the path in the Filter tag. I guess that's an alternate way of closing tags in XML? (Sorry, haven't used it before. Still learning.)
