Validating XML Schema

Stylus Studio can analyze your XML Schema document to determine if it is valid. At any time, click Validate Document in the Stylus Studio tool bar to ensure that your schema is valid. If it is not, Stylus Studio displays a message that indicates the cause and location of the error.

Choosing a validation engine

When you click the Validate Document button, Stylus Studio uses the built-in validation engine. If you want to use a different validation engine, like XML Schema Validator (XSV), for example:

1. Click the down arrow next to the Validate Document button.

A list of supported validation engines appears.

3. Click the Validate Document button again to validate your XML Schema.
