Options - General - Custom Validation Engines

You use this page of the Options dialog box to specify settings for validation engines you want Stylus Studio to use. You can also use this page to create a custom validation engine. Custom validation engines that you add to Stylus Studio are displayed on the Validate Document drop-down list in the XML Schema editor.
