Hi!<br><br><font>I work at the</font><font><span style="font-weight:normal"><font> </font>Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute</span></font> where we use MapServer to make m<font><span style="font-weight:normal">eteorological</span></font> maps available through WMS. Data is read from many sources and we make heavy use of the INCLUDE tag to combine various layer definitions into a Mother-Of-Mapfile: mom.map. What we need to do is find a way to validate the files that mom.map includes - if one of the included files have bad syntax it will break the entire mom.map.<br>
<br>Is there a way to validate the syntax of a map-file (other than trying to make a request on one of the layers it defines)? <br>Is there a list of tags requires a closing END tag - thus making it possible to check <span class="">programmatically</span> that opening and closing tags are balanced?<br>
