Re: XSL FO Validator. Online service.

It seems that I have not answer the original question.

I thought that  'Thread' document ( published on

www.renderx.com) explains everything about FO Validator.

 

> Paul - what is a validating DTD? 

 

The DTD from XSL WD is *not* validating, but it is 'illustrative'

( see 'Thread' document ).

 

> And what is the DTD validating against?

 

DTD is used to validate a structure of  XSL FO stream. .fo file -

not the xsl stylesheet which was / is used to create that .fo file.

 

>   Shouldn't this refer to some sort of a validating parser?

 

At the first step FO Validator invokes XML4J to validate a stream

of FOs with our 'validating' DTD.
