Automatic Validation

Oxygen XML Developer can be configured to mark validation errors in the document as you are editing. If you enable the Automatic validation option any validation errors and warnings will be highlighted automatically in the editor panel. The automatic validation starts parsing the document and marking the errors after a configurable delay from the last key typed. Errors are highlighted with underline markers in the main editor panel and small rectangles on the right side ruler of the editor panel, in the same way as for manual validation invoked by the user.

Automatic Validation on the Edited Document

If the error message is long and it is not displayed completely in the error line at the bottom of the editing area, double-clicking on the error icon at the left of the error line or on the error line displays an information dialog with the full error message. The arrow buttons of the dialog enable the navigation to other errors issued by the Automatic Validation feature.
