<snip/>Hi, two remarks: 1) Sadly, I cannot reproduce your problem: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dblatex/work/bug451267$ cat incorrect.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";> <article lang="en"> <title>Non validating docbook article</title> <itemizedlist> <para>Example paragraph</para> </itemizedlist> </article> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dblatex/work/bug451267$ dblatex incorrect.xml Build the listings...

However, it does no validation on its own (there are tools like xmllint for this), and it tries to transform the input even if the latter has errors: best effort principle. If dblatex succeeds, great. If not, don't blame the tool. One could consider this a case of "shit in, shit out".
