What do you mean "test" XML code?
Basically, test that it's valid, but in particular that certain W3C
things work. For me this is a learning exercise.
The book I'm going through, "XML: Go Beyond the Basics...", copyright
2009, uses an XML "application" called MathML (math markup language)
from W3C as an example. Concerning seeing the results of using this, it
says that normal browsers like Firefox don't understand this markup
language, but that:
<< You can use the World Wide Web Consortium's test browser, named
Amaya, which does. Amaya is free for download at www.w3.org/Amaya, and
it's often used as a testing ground for new things the W3C is doing. >>
Now that I've gone through more of the book, I'm beginning to think that
there are other, newer ways of validating XML code, but I think I've
barely scratched the surface of learning what's available.
I'm also getting the impression from other reading that XHTML (and
perhaps XML?) are now being superseded by HTML5. True or not?
