Uwe and Georg have recently found and fixed a bug in our internal XHTML export. Why not test the export automatically?
These tests would be fast (compared to the LaTeX compilation tests we have). I think our current XHTML tests just check that the exit code is zero. We can extend these tests to work as follows: 1. Export to .xhtml and check the exit code. 2. Check the terminal output from LyX (I think we do this for other tests, such as the lyx2lyx tests). 3. Use xmllint or something similar and check exit code. I know nothing about XHTML. Does anyone have experience with xmllint or any other tool? The only other tool I saw mentioned when searching is XMLStarlet. If someone does have experience, which tool do you recommend? Also, I'd be curious which options you think should be used. It seems to me that we would not want a very strict validation, and basically want to check whether the file is expected to open in a webbrowser without parser errors. Scott
