Sang KimSubject: Finding Errors in the XML File
Author: Sang Kim

We'd like to check an XML file to make sure tags are spelled/used properly. For example, we tried a compile but we noticed in one particular file that we had this through a long search:

<Emphasis Style="Superscripts>

This is obviously incorrect, it should have an end " and no "s" at the end of Superscript.

However, I haven't found a way for Stylus Studio to point this out specifically. I clicked on the "Check Well-Formed" button, and it points out vaguely,

file:///c:/Documents and Settings/test.xml:2,15325: FATAL ERROR: A '<' character cannot be used in attribute 'Style', except through &lt;


It tells me it's in the "Style" attribute, but not specifically where. It doesn't highlight it in the code. It provides, 2, 15325, but that doesn't really help. Do you know what's the best way to find such errors in Stylus Studio?

2,15325 is the line column pair; I guess you have a long single line XML document.

Doesn't Stylus move the cursor to that position? Do you have line wrapping enabled?

Line wrap is turned on, but it's just one continuous file with no spaces between tags and content. So, when it gives line/column, the cursor just points to the first line.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Hm, that's clearly a bug. It will get fixed in the next maintenance package.

In the meanwhile, I can only suggest moving the cursor (and/or the scroll bar) to get to the proper column position; line/col position is always visible in the right part of the application status bar.

Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks for pointing this out. I was unaware of this problem and was able to reproduce it on my installed version. Although the 'Check well-formed' option does not move the cursor to the column in error, selecting 'Indent XML Tags' does, and I can use this as a work-around until the next patch is released.
