RelaxNG warnings

[kruncher]

Hi,

One of the features I like about the Oxygen xml editor is that it highlights errors and warnings with different colours. Is it possible to have a RelaxNG schema produce a warning (instead of just all errors) with the yellow indicator?

Despite numerous searches on Google, I have been unable to find anything relating to warnings in RelaxNG.

Many thanks,
Lea Hayes

Dear Lea,

If the processor used for validation reports a warning then oXygen renders that with yellow, if the processor reports an error then it renders that with red. For Relax NG oXygen uses Jing through oNVDL and I also cannot think of a case when the processor will report a warning but if you obtain a warning that will be surely rendered with yellow in the editor.

Do you have a case when an error reported for Relax NG should be in fact just a warning?

Best Regards,
George

Sorry for the delay in response.

Basically I wanted my own XML schema to indicate a warning instead of an error if the XML matches a certain criteria.

For example,

If an optional (but recommended) element is missing from an XML document I wanted to be able to display the warning indicator. Or if a value may not work correctly when transformed to a particular target. etc.

Code: Select all

<!-- Following would validate -->

<something>

  <optional>Caption text...</optional>

  <required>content</required>

</something>



<!-- Following would validate, but with 1 warning -->

<!-- Something like: It is recommended to include the "optional" element -->

<something>

  <required>content</required>

</something>



<!-- Following would not validate with 1 error and 1 warning -->

<something>

</something>

I have the error part working fine, and for the moment I am just allowing the "warning" cases, but somehow I want to utilize the yellow-marker for warnings (if of course this is possible with RelaxNG and Oxygen).

Thanks George!

Hi,

You can use Schematron embedded in Relax NG and (you need to check this) diagnostics are reported as warnings.
