Validation

[OHappyDay]

Dear all,

the addition of a validation option to the CLI pretext is very helpful and let me find dashes, degrees and quotation marks that should be marked up properly.

One warning though left me confused:

PTX:WARNING: You have a title containing m but no shorttitle. Because this title will be used many places, errors may result. Please add a shorttitle.

Why does a simple <m>n</m> in a title for a section trigger this warning? It does not make sense to me, or does it?

There are issues with LaTeX conversions when you have math in titles because of the strings that are written into the PDF table of contents (not the TOC visible on a page of the document). If you put markup inside a #title, you should also supply a #shortitle that is free of markup so that the PDF TOC works correctly.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the explanation.
