Validation engines display messages in an output view at the bottom of the
Oxygen XML Developer
window. If such an
output message (warning, error, fatal error, etc) spans between three to five lines of
text and has the following format then the message is linked to a location in the
validated document so that a click on the message in the output view highlights the
location of the message in an editor panel containing the file referred in the message.
This behavior is similar to the linked messages generated by the default built-in
validator. The format for linked messages is:
- Type:[F|E|W] (the string Type: followed by a letter for the type of the
message: fatal error, error, warning) - this line is optional in a linked
message.
- SystemID: a system ID of a file (the string SystemID: followed by the system
ID of the file that will be opened for highlighting when the message is clicked in
the output message - usually the validated file, the schema file or an included
file).
- Line: a line number (the string Line: followed by the number of the line that
will be highlighted).
- Column: a column number (the string Column: followed by the number of the
column where the highlight will start on the highlighted line) - this line is
optional in a linked message.
- Description: message content (the string Description: followed by the content
of the message that will be displayed in the output view).
