I appreciate the time and effort you've taken to help me. I'll check out that converter, previously I used trang to go to relax-ng, however, validating with xmllint using the --stream argument seems to throw continuous validation errors when encountered. I'll mess around with the arguments to see if I can get xmllint to return a single validation error, if that doesn't work, I think I can surppress errors and possibly check the return code from xmllint, if it's set. Again, thanks for your time and help :) James _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
