Re: [docbook-apps] validation errors in targets.xml

Hi Benno,

I don't think it is possible to validate a target database.  See this previous mail for the reasons:

 

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200611/msg00135.html

 

A missing .db file is actually a well-formed error.  Oxygen's Check Welformedness option will report such errors, as will xmllint without --validate.

Subject: [docbook-apps] validation errors in targets.xml

Hello,

I alway get hundreds of validation errors, when i validate big target database documents against the targetdatabase.dtd because in the pulled in *.db files many undeclared elements, attributes and entities are found.

This has no effect on the successful outcome of the document/olink generation, but it makes it difficult to find an real error, for example a missing *.db file or something.

I use oXygen 11.2 for validation, but I had the same problem with xmlmind.

Is there a solution for this problem or do I have to extend the dtd myself?

Thanks,

Benno
