| <context><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></context> | |
| <steps> | |
| <step><cmd>In the Navigator view, right-click the DTD and click <menucascade> | |
| <uicontrol>Validate DTD File</uicontrol></menucascade>.</cmd></step> | |
| </steps> | |
| <result>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 <menucascade> | |
| <uicontrol>Properties</uicontrol><uicontrol>Validation</uicontrol></menucascade> from | |
| the project's pop-up menu and specifying the maximum number of error messages | |
| allowed. You might have to select the <uicontrol>Override validation preferences</uicontrol> check | |
| box in order to enable the <uicontrol>Maximum number of validation messages</uicontrol> 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 <uicontrol>Properties</uicontrol>, then select <uicontrol>Validation</uicontrol>. | |
| Any validators you can run against your project will be listed in the | |
| Validation page. </p></result> | |
