Perform comprehensive DOCX verification across three layers: OPC package, XSD schema, and semantic checks.

1. Usage

uniword verify FILE

2. Options

--verbose, -v

Show all issues including info-level findings.

--json

Output the verification report as JSON.

--yaml

Output the verification report as YAML.

--xsd

Enable XSD schema validation against bundled schemas. This is slower but more thorough.

3. Examples

Basic verification (OPC + semantic):

uniword verify document.docx

Enable XSD validation:

uniword verify document.docx --xsd

Machine-readable JSON output:

uniword verify document.docx --json

4. Three verification layers

Layer	Checks	Examples
OPC Package	ZIP integrity, content types, relationships, part presence	ZIP opens correctly, [Content_Types].xml is valid, document.xml exists
XSD Schema	XML schema validation using 40 bundled XSD files	Namespace-aware validation against ISO, ECMA, and Microsoft schemas
Word Document	Semantic checks for cross-references, styles, numbering	Undefined styles, orphaned numbering, missing footnote references

5. Built-in semantic rules

Category	What it checks
Style references	Undefined or unused styles
Numbering	Missing or orphaned numbering definitions
Footnotes	footnotePr / footnotes.xml cross-reference, separator entries
Headers/footers	Missing reference targets
Bookmarks	Duplicate names, orphaned references
Images	Missing relationship targets, content type coverage
Tables	Missing or invalid table style references
Fonts	Empty font entries, missing font references
Theme	Missing theme part, incomplete color or font scheme
Settings	Missing or incomplete settings part

You can register custom rules with Uniword::Validation::Rules.register.
