The are two possibilities:

- use the integrated Trang converter to generate a schema of type XML 
Schema, Relax NG (full or compact syntax), DTD:

- learn a DTD from the edited document:

In the latest version (6.0) it is possible only to set user preferences 
for inserting automatically required tags, optional tags, required 
attributes, fixed attributes, first choice particles when a new document 
is created. See

Filling the document with random data is on our TODO list.
