~bug(req.): documentation: validation instructions reminder
It would be helpful if the instructions regarding turning on validation
mentioned (to remind the reader) what it takes to actually get error
reports (besides just turning on the validation feature).
This is especially important for DOMParser, whose public documentation
says nothing about DOMParser's SAX-like methods for parser control and
error reporting.
(I just spent hours trying to figure out how to get validation working
with DOMParser, including rebuilding all the documentation to check
internal class org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser for any special
instructions.)
Suggested fixes:
- In the validation FAQ (.../docs/html/faq-general.html#faq-2),
mention calling method setErrorHandler to actual get reports from
the just-enabled validation.
- On the Features page (.../docs/html/features.html), in the example to
turn on validation, also mention setErrorHandler (or parenthetically
refer the reader to the validation question in the FAQ list).
