does not contain any errors.</p>
<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, right-click the DTD in the Navigator view and click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Validate
DTD File</span></span>. 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>
</div>
<div class="section"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you receive an error message indicating that the Problems
view is full, you can increase the number of error messages allowed in the
view. Click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Window</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span>
</span> and select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">General</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Markers</span>
</span>. On this preferences page you can increase or decrease the
number of visible items in the problems view. </div>
<p>You can set up a project's
properties so that different types of project resources are automatically
validated when you save them. Right click on the project, click <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span>,
and select <span class="uicontrol">Validation</span>. Any validators you can run against
your project will be listed in the Validation page.</p>
