[oXygen-user] Unable to get DITA Docs to Validate: Can't Figure out Why Not

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Eliot,

I would recommend a clean installation including the DIA framework side 
by side with the existing one (in a different folder) and see if that 
makes a difference.

If you still want to investigate that installation: how did they get the 
DITA support into that installation if the framework was not installed? 
Please check that the framework is not disabled in Options->Preferences 
-- Document Type Association, check the Enabled checkbox (the first 
column) for the DITA framework.
You can also show the Information view from Window->Show 
View->Information and see what happens when the file is validated, what 
schemas are used. From Options->Preferences -- XML / XML Catalog -- 
Verbosity you can set how much information is displayed from the XML 
Catalog resolution - that may provide additional details on what is 
going on.

I hope these ideas help!

Best Regards,
George
