"well-former" tool (Linux)

[Timo Nentwig]

Hi!

I need to parse large XML files which don't terminate tags without body
(i.e. <TAG> when it had to be <TAG />). I'm also not sure about whether
the tags are correctly case-sensitive. I do have an XSD - is there a
tool that can "repair" those XML files?

These are SGML, not XML files :-) Search about SGML.

Well, SGML processors do not support XML Schema...
Search for the DTD or convert XML Schema -> DTD (converters exist).
Then use an SGML normalizer.

Well, a file that uses
http://www.bibletechnologies.net/osisCore.1.1.1.xsd is an XML document,
isn't it?

What do you mean by "uses"? If it does not conform to the XML production
rules, it isn't. Your description of the file sounds like SGML, not XML.

sgml2xml can't correct it anyway.

Maybe "xmllint --recover" helps.

Unfortunately not :-(
