Thank you, Frank. Based on your suggestion I found a solid description of xmllint in a linux tutorial. I will also read the man page for the command, now that the nature of this instruction is clearer.

Hi Tom,

In the wiki for translating the GnuCash Guide&  Help files there is the
instruction to that "xml file has no syntax errors"  and it indicates
using the command:  "xmllint --valid --noout  gnucash-guide.xml"

This instruction assumes the reader knows the context of that command
and how it is setup and works.
The program xmllint is part of the package libxml.
As usual "xmllint --help" shows you the options and "man xmllint" some
explainations.

When I google 'xmllint' I get lots of
references.  Since I want to validate just my changes, I should replace
'gnucash-guide.xml' with the name of my changed module, correct?  I
don't need to validate what I am not changing, correct?
Yes, I believe so.

Feel free to add your experience to the wiki.

Frank
