Author editor offers validation features and configuring possibilities similar to text editor. You can read more about checking the XML form of documents in section Checking XML form.

A fragment with a validation error or warning will be marked in the editor panel by underlining the error region with a red color. The same will happen for a validation warning, only the color will be yellow instead of red.

Status messages from every validation action are logged into the Console view.
