# SpreadsheetValidate Method

Checks the spreadsheet for the things that make an .ods unusable or non-conforming, and returns what it finds. An empty list means nothing known is wrong. This is NOT a schema validator - OpenDocument is defined in RELAX NG and validating against it needs the schema itself; see tools/odf-validate. This knows the invariants the object model can express, and nothing beyond them.
