Re: [docbook-apps] Validating against Schematron

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Well that explains it. I was under the impression that jing and trang were stuck in amber back in 2009. I just checked and the version I had was from 2009.

I just tried the 2018 version, and it works fine with .sch files.

Thanks for setting me straight.
