malformed XML error handling

[Sinner6]

My app has a way for users to import xml data. This means I have to do a really good job of dealing with malformed xml, but I haven't really used xml much in the past.

Right now I have having a problem where I can't figure own what went wrong.
I used xmlGetLastError() and it only ever says "Premature end of data in tag root line 2" even though the problem isn't missing </root>
the error case might look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<categorylist>
<category>Group1</category>
</root>

I am using xmlParseMemory if it makes any difference.

How do get more errors out of the parser? and do something useful with them?

if a xml contain some problem, why you want to "fix" it? just return an error informing user to use a right xml file.....

"Fixing" it for the user would be awesome but I don't really intend to go that far.
The issue is a user might take one of my baseline XMLs modify and try to use it. Allowing for this is a really key feature for my app. What I want to do is display an error message then a textview with in the area of the error, allowing the user to fix it themselves.

See on this page the picture on the right. The error message points pretty close to the error. I am stumped on how to do that.
