Delete a DTD file
❖ Choose Delete DTD from the Structure pane menu.
InDesign deletes the copy of the DTD file stored in the InDesign document, not the original DTD file. Tags that were
imported with the DTD file remain in the Tags panel but are unlocked.
Validate XML structure
When you validate your document, InDesign alerts you if the XML deviates from rules established by the DTD file. It
suggests ways to make the XML meet DTD file requirements. You can fix errors one at a time or view all errors in a
separate window.
Structure pane with Suggestions pane

To change the root element from which InDesign validates, choose DTD Options in the Structure pane menu.

tags directly using the Structure pane and the Tags panel.

• Click the Left arrow or Right arrow .
• Click the Error Window button to view all errors in a separate window.
