Document Checking Preferences

To configure the Document Checking (validation) options, open the Preferences dialog box and go to Editor ⇒ Document Checking. This page contains preferences for configuring how a document is checked for both well-formedness and validation errors.

The following options are available:

Maximum number of validation highlights

If a validation generates more errors than the number specified in this option, only the errors up to this number are highlighted in the editor panel and on the stripe that is displayed at the right side of the editor panel. This option applies to both automatic validation and manual validation.

Clear validation markers on close

If this option is enabled, all the error markers added in the Problems view for that document are removed when the Oxygen XML Developer plugin plugin is closed.

Enable automatic validation

This causes the validation to be automatically executed in the background as the document is modified in Oxygen XML Developer plugin.

Delay after the last key event (s)

The period of keyboard inactivity before starting a new validation (in seconds).
