This validator requires that I post the code to some host. The contents that I'd like to verify is intranet contents, which I am not allowed to post to an external site. > > With regards to XML, he may mean that he wants to validate that the > document conforms to a specific format, not just that it is generally > valid XML.

I noticed, that some of of the templates generate documents with mismatching DTD headers / contents. All of the HTML code is parsable as xml (if it isn't it's a bug) There are also some custom XML files, which have their specific DTDs So I thought about validating some of the generated html with lxml. the django test environment allows to run test clients, which are supposedly much faster than a real http client. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
