Re: not addressed by a symbolic name

Hi Terry,

in case you still have an issue:

    <context name="General Comment" attribute="Comment"
lineEndContext="#pop">
        <IncludeRules context="##Alerts" />-->

At the end you have a trailing --> in this snippet. Not sure whether you
have that also in your xml file, since my smartphone does not let me view
the xml file.

Best regards
Dominik
