lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: StartTag: invalid element name

[juanCure]

I have run the following command:

meTypeset.py docx foo.docx output/foo1 --nogit --debug --interactive --zotero

I have added meTypeset to my PATH environment variable and I have configured the settings.xml file to points to a local zotero database, the process of conversion starts and pass through for some stages until the [libZotero] stage and I have got the following message of error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: StartTag: invalid element name, line 1, column 731

Although the process ends with the previous message, in the output directory there are some directories, In the nlm directory there is 2 resulting files JATS/XML, however the references appear as

<ref id="ID9d6e3ba7-aa77-491b-a934-8d085a821b80">Alaniz-&#193;lvarez, S.A., Nieto-Samaniego, A.F., Reyes-Zaragoza, M.A., Ojeda-Garc&#237;a, A.C., Orozco-Esquivel, M.T., Vasallo, L.F., 2001, Estratigraf&#237;a y deformaci&#243;n extensional en la regi&#243;n San Miguel de Allende-Quer&#233;taro, M&#233;xico: Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geol&#243;gicas, 18, 129-148. </ref>
However I need the references as appear below , because I am using elifesciences / lens to display the resulting NLM xml file:

<ref id="ID9d6e3ba7-aa77-491b-a934-8d085a821b80">

Thanks for this. Could you please provide: 1. The document on which you are working and that causes this error. 2. The Zotero database. Many thanks.
