Description Ville Skytt 2010-06-15 16:38:22 UTC

The info given by validator about error locations should be improved as the
errors may not occur in the doc to be validated, they may be elsewhere.  For
example validate the following XHTML MP 1.2 doc with xmllint (libxml):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.2//EN" 
"http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>
Plain Text
</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
This is
<br/>
A simple sample of XHTML MP
</p>
<div style="text-align:right">
Hello, world
</div>
</body>
</html>



$ xmllint --noout --postvalid t.xhtml 
http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtmlmp12-form-1.mod:18: parser
error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0x92 0x53 0x20 0x52

Comment 1 Ville Skytt 2010-07-04 08:25:39 UTC

This particular test case does not work at the moment as the OMA DTDs are 404
right now, but here's another:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01+RDFa 1.1//EN"
           
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-rdfa-in-html-20100624/DTD/html401-rdfa11-1.dtd">
<html version="HTML+RDFa 1.1" lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Example Document</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Moved to <a href="http://example.org/">example.org</a>.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Done now in hg for HTML output.  Bug 10076 tracks this for other output types.

Comment 3 Ville Skytt 2010-07-12 16:23:54 UTC

Done in 1.1.
