Hi Everyone,

I'm working on a reasonably large HTML project which I wish to convert to XML. 
So far so good. It is essential that the resulting XML conforms to an XSD which 
I have obtained. Before undertaking the transformation it would be nice to
1) Validate the source HTML document ensuring it conforms to the XSD
2) Validate the resulting XML output with the XSD.

So far I have reviewed Saxon as a possible tool, however unfortunately schema 
validation is only offered in the enterprise edition, therefore I wonder if 
Xalan-J is a feasible alternative? Having looked on the user@ lists I've not 
seen much apart from this thread [1] to suggest that it is.

Finally, it would be great if there was some tool which indicates where an 
error is during the validation and transformation, however from what I gather 
this is not the case, can anyone confirm?

Thank you very much in advance.
Lewis
