Someone in the OpenDocument Fellowship read my blog entry on RelaxngValidatingReader and OpenDocument, and then asked me if I can create example code. Sure :-) Here is my tiny "odfvalidate" that validates .odt or its content xml files (any of content.xml, styles.xml, meta.xml, or settings.xml should be fine) using the RELAX NG schema.
I put an example file to validate, actually simply converted OpenDocument specification document by OO.o 2.0. When you validate the document, it will report you a validation error which is really an error in content.xml.
Mono users just can get that simple .cs file and OpenDocument rng schema, and then compile it as "mcs -r:Commons.Xml.Relaxng -r:ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib". Microsoft.NET users can still try it, by downloading those dll files listed there.
Beyond my tiny tool, I think AODL would be able to use it. In the above directory I put a tiny diff file for AODL code. Add Commons.Xml.Relaxng.dll as a reference, add OpenDocument-schema-v1.0-os.rng as a resource and then build. I haven't actually run it so it might not work though.
If any further questions, please feel free to ask me.
