XML Validation

Before checking in doc updates, make sure the XML markup is valid. To perform a basic check for mismatched tags, missing or extra or unescaped delimiters, and other mistakes that are straightforward to detect, run the command:

xmllint --noout <filename>.xml

You can run the command with multiple filenames, for example all the modified files that are about to be committed.

If everything is OK, the command produces no output. If there is any output, it will show the approximate line(s) where the XML error occurs.

By default, the xmllint command only checks the validity aspects that apply to any XML document, for example, that every start <tag> is matched by a closing </tag>. But not that the actual tag and attribute names are ones recognized by the DITA XML dialect. That extra level of checking requires additional setup. (Instructions pending.)
