Hi Folks,
I have an XML Schema with a simpleType that enumerates its values. The enumeration values are long; for example, here is one value:
<xs:enumeration value="end coordinates of the starting point and ending point" />
I wrote an XSLT program that generates a schema-conformant instance document. Before validation I clicked on the Format/Indent button to get the instance document nicely formatted. Then I clicked on the Associate Schema button. Then I clicked on the Validate button.
Validation failed!
When I checked to see what failed, I saw this:
<shapeIsDefinedBy>end coordinates of the starting point and ending
point</shapeIsDefinedBy>
Yikes!
The formatting/indenting tool split the enumeration value across lines, which created an invalid enumeration value.
Here's the trick I learned:
1. Load the instance document into Oxygen XML
2. Click on the Associate Schema button
3. Click on the Format/Indent button
4. Click on the Validate button
Do it in that order!
The key is to Associate Schema first and then Format/Indent. When you associate a schema first, then the Oxygen format/indent tool knows that it shouldn't split enumeration values across lines.
