| <h1 class="topictitle1">Validating DTDs</h1> |
| <div><p>Validating a DTD file lets you verify that it is well formed and |
| does not contain any errors.</p><div class="skipspace"><p>The following instructions were written for the Resource perspective, |
| but they will also work in many other perspectives. </p> |
| <p>To validate |
| a DTD, follow these steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="p"><span>In the Navigator view, right-click the DTD and click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Validate DTD File</span></span>.</span></div> |
| <div class="skipspace">A dialog opens, indicating if the DTD file was successfully validated |
| or not. If the file is invalid, any errors will appear in the Problems view. |
| <p><b>Note</b>: If you receive an error message indicating |
| that the Problems view is full, you can increase the number of error messages |
| allowed by selecting <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Properties</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Validation</span></span> from the project's pop-up menu and specifying the maximum number |
| of error messages allowed. You might have to select the <span class="uicontrol">Override |
| validation preferences</span> check box in order to enable the <span class="uicontrol">Maximum |
| number of validation messages</span> field</p> |
| <p>You can set up project's |
| properties so that different types of project resources are automatically |
| validated when you save them. From a project's pop-up menu select <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span>, |
| then select <span class="uicontrol">Validation</span>. Any validators you can run |
| against your project will be listed in the Validation page. </p> |
