Re: SGML validation in emacs
Bob,
Now I see the problem -- I misinterpreted what you were asking.
The quick answer is that you can only validate the parent doc -
fancy.xml in your case.
Notice that when psgml is finished parsing (and you've regained
control of emacs) that one buffer contains the parent doc. This is
always the case. Simply switch your buffer to fancy.xml & validate.
That psgml/nsgmls works this way makes good sense. Think it through
and you'll see why it must work this way.
Good luck, and thanks for shopping Debian GNU/Linux.
