OK, i have XML validation working now during build docs. It revealed some validation errors - nothing too drastic. I have mended all the broken xdocs.
These are the steps that i took to get it going. Basically every XML instance document must declare its ruleset. Step 4 is a worry and we need to resolve it. The rest can be committed when ready. 1) in cocoon.xconf set the parser parameter "validate" 2) add initial internal DTD to both *.roles config files 3) add an initial external DTD for book.xml documents and add a Declaration to each */book.xml ... is there a proper DTD somewhere? 4) declare the DTD for each SVG template in documentation/svg/*.xml I got the final release svg10.dtd from W3C. However, i encountered some serious issues. Our SVG files are broken according to the SVG DTD ... a) We have an extra "label" element inside the "text" element, which is not allowed by the DTD. b) There is no attribute "xmlns:xlink" for the svg element, yet our files have that. As a workaround to get the rest of the validation run happening, i have written a minimal svg DTD based on those simple XML files to reflect their current structure. --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
