Hi James, If you have a schema or a DTD specified in your files then there is nothing you should set up, oXygen will detect those schemas or DTDs and will use them for content completion and validation. If you have your XML files without any schema or DTD associated then you have two options: * make default associations in oXygen options (see Options->Preferences -- Editor / Default Schema Association. For instance you can add an association as follows to handle concept files: Namespace: <ANY> Root local name: concept File name: <ANY> Schema type: XML Schema Schema URI: path to concept.xsd DITA schema * associate the schema or the DTD that you want inside your documents (using a DOCTYPE declaration for instance for DTDs or the schema instance xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation for XML Schema). In this later case the oXygen associate schema action may help you.

I want to set up Oxygen to edit and validate DITA files.

I'm guessing that it's possible; I'm hoping that it's simple.

Can anyone point me to a document that would get me halfway there (or further)?
