Re: [Xsltforms-support] XForms Validator

[Dan M. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi William,

I would suggest you use a namespace validation language NVDL syntax checker
if you can get your hands on the oXygen IDE.  It is expensive but worth it
if you do a lot of XForms editing.

I have had to change the XForms schema a few times to get it to work
correctly with various patterns I use.  For example we allow the class
attribute in our XForms.

Here is an example of the XML PI done by the brilliant Alex Bleasdale of
MarkLogic,
