Hello Ray, If you include a DTD inside the document oXygen will validate against that DTD and not against an eventually externally associated schema (assuming you associated a RNC schema externally with the document through the default schema association options). An external entity is replaced with its content and the validation is performed on that expanded content against the specified DTD. Probably your DTD does not define the elements that are present in your expanded document thus you get validation errors. I do not understand exactly against what DTD/schema you want your document to be valid. If a document is not valid against some DTD or schema you have two options: either correct the document to match the DTD/schema or change the DTD or schema to allow the content from your document. In version 7 (we made available a beta a few days ago [1]) you should be able to specify a Relax NG schema (using a PI inside the document, see the associate schema action in oXygen) and a DTD and configure oXygen to ignore the DTD for validation if a schema is also specified, thus you will get Relax NG validation and entities support through the DTD but no validation against the DTD will be performed.

Note both the extended character set and inclusion of html formatting tags.

Won’t validate.

Please advise.
