Hi,
first thanks for the cool stuff.
but i have the following problem:
when i do xmllint file.xml and i am missing an end tag in that file, i
get a quite misleading error message. it doesn't even show the right
piece of text where the problem is.
is it possible to have an error message like:
XML not well formed: </CATALOG> missing. Aborting.
( </CATALOG> only in this case of course...)
this would not mislead new users learning xml stuff.
thanks, Holger
