Document Checking Preferences

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

The following options are available:

• Maximum number of validation highlights - If validation generates more errors than the number from this option only the first errors up to this number are highlighted in editor panel and on stripe that is displayed at right side of editor panel. This option is applied both for automatic validation and manual validation.
• Validation error highlight color - The color used to highlight validation errors in the document.
• Validation warning highlight color - The color used to highlight validation warnings in the document.
• Validation success color - The color used to highlight in the vertical ruler bar the success of the validation operation.
• Always show validation status - If this option is selected the line at the bottom of the editor panel which presents the current validation error or warning is always visible. This is useful to avoid scrolling problems when Automatic validation is enabled and the vertical scroll bar may change position due to displaying an error message while the document is edited.
• Enable automatic validation - Validation of edited document is executed in background as the document is modified by editing in Oxygen XML Editor.
• Delay after the last key event (s) - The period of keyboard inactivity which starts a new validation (in seconds).

  At the bottom of the preferences page you can choose whether or not the saved options will be shared with other users by selecting Global or Project storage options.
