Validation engines display messages in an output view at the bottom of the Oxygen 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).
