🚀 go-pugleaf

Hello Mr. Brand,

what you are talking about is automatically wrapping into <MyText>, so it becomes valid XML.

I am not sure, whether this is possible via XSL, so you might need a cutsom plugin to do it. Have you looked at FrameSLT? As I understand, it is like XSLT, but on the basis of structured documents that work as "FrameSLT-Scripts". Maybe with this you can detect those areas that need to be wrapped into <Mytext>.

As you say that your EDD does not croak on it, this means, that you have it configured as an SGMLApplication in structapps.fm. When exporting XML you must be using an XMLApplication in structapps.fm.
So as for this, you could try to do the following:
1. Edit using your EDD and
a. either use .fm format rather than .xml and validate your document my using the menu entry
b. have an SGML-Application in structapps.fm
2. If you have no errors in these validations, your document is ok.
3. When preparing the files for the translator, assign a different structapp, which is an XMLApplication, rather than the SGMLApplication you use for editing.
4. This way you can discern:
* Error in the SGMLApplicaton => real invalidity
* Error in the XMLApplication, but not in the SGMLApplication =>no real invalidity

BTW: If you say, that you need layout and everything preserved: Have you tried to send the .fm files to the translator rather than the .xml files?

Hope this helps.
With kind regards,
Franz.
