This is mostly for myself, as a way to remember what I tried today, but just in case anyone's interested… I was looking at how to include the appendix C checks (currently as standalone app [1]) but mostly based on SAX events over XML::Parser within the markup validator, currently using two parsers: opensp (with Bjoern's module as interface to its API [3]) and the perl libxml2 wrapper (XML::LibXML). [1] http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/perl/modules/W3C/XHTML/HTMLCompatChecker/bin/appCcheck.pl [2] http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check [3] http://openjade.sourceforge.net/doc/generic.htm Today's rummaging... * opensp API events don't give enough info about matched string to check for constructs such as <foo/> versus <foo /> ... so completely useless for appendix C checking * we parse XML-WF with XML::LibXML so could we use its sax parser instead for XML::LibXML we need $xmlparser->line_numbers(1); $xmlparser->validation(0); $xmlparser->load_ext_dtd(0); but Can't locate object method "line_numbers" via package "XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser" (etc) ... weird, I'd expect XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser to know the same methods as XML::LibXML http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-LibXML/ has doc for sax parser missing. pity. * when commenting out these and running my $saxhandler = W3C::Validator::SAXHandler->new($File); my $xmlparser = XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser->new(Handler => $saxhandler); ... $xmlparser->parse_string($xml_string); It doesn't seem like any event is passed to the handler Hmm, I'm probably doing it wrong, or maybe the SAX side of XML::LibXML doesn't grok parse_string, only parse_uri? More on that next week. -- olivier
