Validating DocBook V5.0

I've been reading through the "DocBook V5.0: The
Transition Guide"
(http://www.docbook
.org/docs/howto/) about validating V5 documents.

>From that document, "Sun Multi-Schema XML Validator
(MSV) is able to
validate an XML document against a RELAX NG schema *and*
Schematron
rules at the same time" (emphasis mine). Unfortunately
(on Windows at
least) the exit code doesn't seem to be set when validation
fails --
which makes automation a bit difficult. Anyone else
experienced this?

As an alternative, I thought I might use xmllint -- anyone
know if it
is able to validate both against a RELAX NG schema and
Schematron
rules?

Thanks,
Ken

Not in a single step. But it is possible to convert
Schematron schema
into XSLT stylesheet and then use this stylesheet together
with xsltproc
for validation.

See:

et/schematron/1.5/

You should be able to use the NVDL script that comes with
the latest 
DocBook 5 (5.0CR4 - http://docbook.org/xml
/5.0CR4/)to validate against 
both the Relax NG and against the Schematron Schema.
oNVDL is an open source implementation of NVDL based on Jing
and 
supports both Schematron and Relax NG for validation. It is
available from
http://www.oxygen
xml.com/onvdl.html
If you have any issues with oNVDL let me know.

Regards,
George

Thanks very much for the pointers, Jirka and George -- I'll
check them out.
