Document validation

Mark Birbeck's picture

Any document that is indicated to Sidewinder as being XHTML will go through validation. The schemata used have been built using the techniques described in XHTML Modularization 1.1 which provides a set of XHTML modules for re-use when building XML languages.

The schemata used by Sidewinder actually build on the core XHTML modules by adding XForms, SVG, MathML, RDFa and XLink. (The MathML schemas are currently disabled.)

Since the schemata may well contain errors, please use the forums to both check for updates in between releases, and to report any errors you discover.
