[Ann] focheck - Validate XSL-FO and Antenna House extensions in oXygen or standalone
Antenna House is pleased to announce the availability of 'focheck' as an add-on oXygen framework for validating XSL-FO and Antenna House extensions. 'focheck' bundles a Relax NG schema and a Schematron grammar in an oXygen framework for detailed validation of XSL-FO within oXygen XML Editor. You can, of course, also use the 'focheck' Relax NG and Schematron outside of oXygen, either together or separately. The Relax NG handles structural validation and the Schematron handles the additional constraints that cannot be expressed in Relax NG. The Schematron parses property value expressions using an XSLT-based parser generated by the REx parser generator plus an XSLT library for reducing the parse tree to XSL-FO datatypes. 'focheck' is available on GitHub at https://github.com/AntennaHouse/focheck. If you want to go straight to installing it as an add-on, the Update Site URL to use is https://github.com/AntennaHouse/focheck/raw/master/add-on.xml 'focheck' is a work in progress. It does not (yet) handle every XSL-FO property or every requirement in the XSL-FO spec, nor does it evaluate either functions or relative lengths. Pull requests and new issues are welcome. I will also be talking about 'focheck' at XML London 2015 in June. [1] And, of course, thanks go to the folks at Oxygen XML Editor Support for helping with some of the issues encountered.

Hi Tony, Thanks for sharing the project with us. I added it to a list of public hosted Oxygen plugins and frameworks I'm maintaining here:

I also added a small suggestion about adding documentation to the axf.rng:

Thanks. Could you, however, change the description to: Framework for validating XSL-FO with Antenna House extensions developed by Antenna House ?
I also added a small suggestion about adding documentation to the axf.rng:
I got that, thank you. The models and documentation strings for the XSL 1.1 FOs and properties are generated from the XML for the XSL 1.1 spec, but the XML for the Antenna House extensions is not as regular, so they have to be added by hand and, frankly, there's quite a lot of them. I did say this is a work in progress, and I expect to do one or two releases this week with more Antenna House extensions, so people should check for new updates regularly.
