Ensuring Well-Formedness

To ensure that your XML document is well formed, click the Tree tab at the bottom of the XML editor window.

If the document is well formed, Stylus Studio displays the tree representation. If the document is not well formed, Stylus Studio displays a message that indicates the reason the document is not well formed and the location of the error or omission. Correct the document, and click the Tree tab.

If you are already viewing the Tree representation of your document, the document is well formed. When you edit the Tree view, the XML that Stylus Studio generates is always well formed.
