Dear list, when dealing with XML, sometimes I find errors that I don’t know where they might come from. Is it possible to get the full ConTeXt source from a XML document instead of typesetting it? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi, On a similar vein: I get my XML files from an outside source, and I sometimes forget to call xmllint before processing. Is there a chance for ConTeXt to report a warning when it encounters issues with the XML? Best wishes, Taco

hm xmllint is also a validating parser... I don't think there is much to gain in re-implementing all in lua ... even a lua binding is questionable . -- luigi

Sure, but as it stands ConTeXt silently ignores (== do not process at all) broken XML files. Some sort of indication that not all is right would be really helpful, even if it was just “xml file contained no elements”. Taco

Yes, I often get errors like “can’t close tag <foo> with </bar> on line XXXX.” But I don’t know in which situations these messages pop up and when context simply bails out. Thomas

Hm, I usually get a variation of “invalid xml file” typeset inside the document, but nothing on the command line. See attached example. Best wishes, Taco
