Hello! I've made some searching and it seems we can use xmllint as an alternative for digging detailed error messages in configure.php. Advantages: - it seems to be a bit faster - memory limit (if exceeded xmllint exits and don't hang your system) - validation check on the fly and after the full document is built (--valid and --postvalid options) - more debugging features (--load-trace shows included files, --debugent full path of xml processing) - interactive shell? (didn't use it yet though)
Usage example: c...@conf ~/phpdoc-ru/doc-base $ xmllint --noout --stream --valid --postvalid --noent manual.xml (--noent option will substitue entities, more memory consuming and exact validation, --stream uses streaming API, helps for big files) Use man xmllint for details. Problems: - I had to modify docbook.dtd to make xmllint handle xi:includes correctly, afaik they are used only in classsynopsis so there're minimum changes in dtd, here's the patch: http://pastie.org/1433965 - --postvalid and --noent options quite enlarge memory usage, (according to top output) up to 1Gb, while without them it's about 200Mb - don't know how to use with non-en manual versions What do you think about it? -- Regards, Shein Alexey
