Re: [docbook-apps] How to validate assemblies and the underlying files?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi,
I know of no tool that can validate the resolved content of a DocBook 
assembly in one step.  As you know, some XML parsers can resolve XIncludes 
and validate the resolved content.  But DocBook assembly is not yet a 
finalized standard, and I know of no parsers that have added it their kit. 
Currently your best bet is a two-step process that applies the assembly.xsl 
stylesheet to the assembly file to generate a DocBook document, and then 
pass the results to a validator like Jing.
