If the preptools fails it says:

learninggo.xml(0): Warning: Invalid document before running preptool: Element li has extra content: t

This is really hard to debug without an actual line number, esp, when xmllint doesn't complain (although that is run without the dtd being there).

Replying to [#371 miek@…]:

If the preptools fails it says:

Agreed. It is unfortunately hard to do better when the underlying library doesn't provide more information :-(

Once we're past incorrect behaviour and schema tweaks, I could investigate the use of an alternative validator if the primary one doesn't provide enough information.

I just tried this with the learninggo-2.xml file from #372, but with that file the warnings that occur has line number indications. Will need the original input file in order to look more at this.

The listing of validation errors has been substantially improved in [2585].
