You are not forced to write a dummy XML document. Simply use "dtdvalid -d dtd_file". For XML Schemas, use "xsdvalid -s schema_file". (xsdvalid is included in Standard Edition.) > A similar facility for CSS validation seems to be missing. Of course, we have such command line utility for our non-regression tests. But this command line utility is not included in XXE distribution. What is important when writing a CSS is to see if the document looks good with it. In order to do this, open a test document in XXE and after modifying the CSS, reload the modified CSS by simply selecting its name from the Style menu. > I'm using XXE Standard Edition.
