[oXygen-user] oxygen says W3C html strict DTD has errors

Fri Sep 21 01:56:41 CDT 2007

Hello,

oXygen validates a file only if a validation action is executed from a 
toolbar or from a menu. oXygen validates a file automatically when you 
open the file only if the option Validate as you type is enabled. oXygen 
is assuming HTML files are XML (XHTML) ones.

Regards,
Sorin
