Subject: [Tools-discuss] Line numbers in idnits

Hi,

When I run idnits in verbose mode, the reported line numbers for errors do not match the line numbers in the idnits output. They do, however, match the line numbers from the source file. It looks like the idnits output doesn't count white space in its line numbering, so the numbers end up being different.

It would be helpful to have the error report match the numbering in the idnits output, and to a lesser degree, to have the numbering in the idnits output match the numbering would would find  viewing the source file in a typical text editor.

Thanks!

Ben Campbell.
