I would say it's a case of the function description needing a little more elaboration, or a caveat: From http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlreader.html : > Function: xmlTextReaderGetParserLineNumber > > int xmlTextReaderGetParserLineNumber (xmlTextReaderPtr reader) > > Provide the line number of the current parsing point. > reader: the user data (XML reader context) > Returns: an int or 0 if not available Maybe add: "This information is only useful if you are debugging the parser." When I attempted to use the function, I was trying to report a parsing error in such a way that a human being examining an XML file in a text editor like vi could go to the reported line number and figure out what it was that had offended the parser or the back end (like, a value out of range). I wound up reporting the enclosing tag instead. :-( -- Bruce A.
