Hi, 

Since my last upgrade to BaseX 8.0 beta 9cb3a37 (also just tried BaseX 8.0.1 beta 161c4fd), I noticed that the dtd validation errors are cut when to long, so I'm getting messages like this one, that don't help my users much:

File 'html-review/dh4/device-help/3338/50/global/en-us/T1401261601.html' doesn't validate against BaseX-DTDs/xhtml/xhtml1-transitional.dtd. Error [bxerr:BXVA0001]: Validation failed. "Error:archie, 5:28: Attribute "...

Plus, in previous versions, I was removing some errors that we don't care about, which I can't do anymore.

Is there a new option to get the full messages like I used to with $err:description? 

Here is my code snippet (sorry for the ugly color coding in there... never had time to upgrade them to @class): 

let $errors := <ul>{
                   for $file in $files
                   return try{
                      let $validate := validate:dtd($file, $dtd-file-path)
                      return <li style="color:green">Ye!</li>
                      }
                    catch * {
                      let $error-description :=  $err:description
                      return if (contains (normalize-space($error-description),
                                  normalize-space('Attribute ""xmlns"" must be declared for element type'))
                                 or contains (normalize-space($error-description),
                                  normalize-space('Attribute ""xmlns:xsi"" must be declared for element type')))
                             (: The 'xmlns' error is introduced by BaseX, and does not get exported to static content, so we ignore it :)
                            then ()
                            else if (contains (normalize-space($error-description),
                                     normalize-space('Attribute ""content"" is required and must be specified for element type ""meta""')))
                                 then () (: No longer true in HTML5 :)
                                 else <li style="color:red;">
                                   <p>File '{$file/base-uri()}' doesn&apos;t validate against {$dtd-file-path}.</p>
                                   <p>{'Error [' || $err:code || ']: ' || $err:description}</p>
                                 </li>
                           }
                    }</ul>

    (:let $debug := file:write('debug-in-fix-validation.xml', $errors):)

    return <ul>{$errors//li[contains(@style, 'color:red;')]}</ul>
