Re: Which XML parser gives the most amount of detail regarding invali d XML files?

Hi,
The command line utility can take the following flags and arguments (the flags are case insensitive):

-TT (Trace the templates as they are being called)
-TG (Trace each result tree generation event)
-TS (Trace each selection event)
-TTC (Trace the template children as they are being processed)
-VALIDATE (Validate the XML and XSL input -- validation is off by default)
-EDUMP [optional]FileName (Do stackdump on error)

i think the -TT,  -TG, -TS  or -TTC in combination with -VALIDATE should be
give you more verbose report . 
hope this helps

regards
maddy
