XSL-FO documents are typically generated by an XSLT transform and thus rarely edited by hand. However, validating XSL-FO markup can be a useful check of the correctness of the transformation. The focheck Validation Framework is an open source project that bundles a Relax NG Schema for validating the structure of FO files with Schematron rules for validating property expressions. Validation uses an expression parser generated as an XSLT program by the REx parser generator; Schematron rules are mostly autogenerated, using an XSLT stylesheet to extract property value definitions from the XML version of the XSL 1.1 Recommendation. Since its introduction in 2015, focheck has added extension formatting objects, properties specific to Antenna House Formatter V6.3, and some Schematron Quick Fixes (SQF). Both GitHub and Oxygen framework versions of focheck are available. See what it can do!
