Xmllint --format silently(!) drops any xml content it cannot handle (e.g if the .xml has one closing tag missing). Xmlpp seems to handle that fine (the only minor problem I noticed is that it alters the original xml in "harmless" ways such as changing " to ' or reordering attributes). If you need to deal with possibly broken XML, I suggest to use http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/build/tree/scratch/formatxml.cpp . It handles even malformed XML, it does not alter the contents in any way except for indenting it and explicitly marking problems in the XML structure with an easily visible comment. -- Lubos Lunak l.lu...@suse.cz _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
