i'm wondering, not having looked at your tool: if it doesn't print line numbers, is it easy to figure out which XML element it warns about? would the element contain some unique text or have a unique identifying attribute? line number is just one way of doing it, if there's an equivalent way to find it with search in the text editor it should be fine, these UI files aren't that huge... _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
