So I got this to work when I took out the first name tag under the document tag. The real problem comes in when I try to use another file (which looks exactly the same to me) that I am creating by parsing an xml document with a Java program. I can load the file created in Notepad, but it gives a not-well-formed error when I try to load the file produced by the program. Something to do with my encoding? But I don't know how to change it.

Answer 1

I found the problem. It was mismatched tags. Makes you feel dumb, but seems to happen a lot in programming. Little things that are easy to miss. So make sure to check the tags well. Wasn't the encoding at all.
