Thank you for this great tool, which has improved a lot with regards to usability. It would be great to implement a schematron validation while editing, so that plausibility checks can be done inside the editor without using external tools.

Interesting, I wonder if there's a good schematron .NET implementation I could integrate. In the meantime you could use the XML Notepad support for XSLT together with this tool https://github.com/schxslt/schxslt

Thank you for your feedback Chris! I already found this specific tool among others, but they did not convince me with regards to workflow or they are not maintained any more. For me a schematron validator should work as a xsd validator, and it should be integral part (or add-on) of an editor, because that is where it matters, giving direct feedback to the use instead of (1) stop editing, (2) run a script, (3) check the error log, (4) lookup the relevant parts in the document, (5) revise and correct the errors .. and iterate it over and over again.

Thanks for the info, can you share examples of your XML data and the schematron schemas that you are using?
