Package: libxml2-utils Version: 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze5 When checking docbook XML files, there are a few errors in the indexterm entries that are undetected. It will detect if there is a endofrange entry without the corresponding startofrange. It will also detect if there are two startofrange with the same ID. But it will not detect
(1) if there is a startofrange without a endofrange. (2) if there are two endofrange with the same ID. See the example docbook file for a demonstration. This file got two errors, and xmllint claim everything is OK. I run it like this: xmllint --nonet --noout --xinclude --postvalid bad-indexterm.xml Can xmllint be extended to detect these bugs too? When adding lots of indexterm entries it would be useful to get more help to find the bugs I introduce. :) <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";> <!-- Demonstrate insufficient indexterm checking by xmllint. --> <book> <bookinfo> <title>Example demonstrating xmllint index problem</title> </bookinfo> <preface> <title>test</title> <indexterm id='idxone' class='startofrange'><primary>first index</primary></indexterm> <para>test</para> <indexterm startref='idxone' class='endofrange'/> <indexterm startref='idxone' class='endofrange'/> <indexterm id='idxtwo' class='startofrange'><primary>second index</primary></indexterm> <para>text is good</para> </preface> <index></index> </book> -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
