| <div class="section"><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="section">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><strong>Note</strong>: |
| 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> |
