Yet another method is to use an ant script. <project basedir="./" default="parse" name="crossplatform.script"> <property name="NLM-DTD-resources" value="NLM-DTD-resources"/> <xmlcatalog id="nlm.dtds"> <dtd publicId="-//NLM//DTD Journal Publishing DTD v3.0 20080202//EN" location="${basedir}/${NLM-DTD-resources}/dtd/NLM/publishing/journalpublishing3.dtd"/> </xmlcatalog> <target name="parse"> <echo>Validating the ${input}</echo> <xmlvalidate failonerror="yes" warn="yes" file ="${input}"> <xmlcatalog refid="nlm.dtds"/> </xmlvalidate> </target> </project> Save the above in file "build.xml" and keep the NLM DTD resources in a folder named "NLM-DTD-resources" ant -buildfile build.xml -Dinput file.xml OR ant -Dinput file.xml The only advantage is that this is cross-platform :-) I too use xmllint on a linux box which is very handy. -- Rajagopal On Thu, Nov 28, 2013 at 10:55 PM, Alf Eaton <eaton.alf@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From the command line you can use xmllint (brew install libxml2): > > xmllint --noout --loaddtd --valid file.xml > > On 28 November 2013 16:55, Ian Mulvany <i.mulvany@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> I'm building a small script in python to generate NLM XML.
