[oXygen-user] Validating multi-file XSL transformations with

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

This was discussed on the <oXygen/> forum:

http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/ftopic1670.html

Just disable the automatic validation in your preferences (Options -> 
Preferences -> Editor -> Document Checking -> Validate as you type) and 
apply manual validation (the Validate toolbar button) only for the main 
module of your XSLT stylesheet, not the included ones.


Best regards,
Sorin
