I'll make treasure of this suggestion. :-)

Sorry sorry sorry I made a very silly question again. :-((

This time I'd like to ask you about a problem I'm having with validation:

- I have setup the parser with the following: 

        xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault(1);

        xmlDoValidityCheckingDefaultValue = 1;
        xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue = 1;

        xmlInitParser();

- I have created the parser context with the following: 

        if ((ctxt = xmlCreateMemoryParserCtxt(response_body, response_len)) == NULL)
        {
                /* error */
        }

- I have parsed the document

        if (xmlParseDocument(ctxt) < 0)
        {
                /* error */
        }


This is the document (characters.xml from libxslt's tests/docs directory)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

    <skill name="Use rope" base="dex" ranks="2" total="5" mod="3"/>
  </skills>
</character>

After the parsing, which returns 0, in ctxt I have the following fields:

- valid: 1
- validate: 0

But note that I also have the following output from xmlParseDocument:

Entity: line 2: validity error: Validation failed: no DTD found !
<character>
          ^

Why is valid still equal to 1 ?

TIA
