DTD vs. Schema

Stylus Studio provides tools for working with both W3C XML Schema and DTD's - this tutorial explains what the differences are between the two, providing a technical comparison of DTD vs Schema.

XML Schema Validator, DTD Validator

Stylus Studio lets you validate XML documents using integrated XML Schema or DTD validators. Use the Stylus Studio built-in validator, or any number of supported XML parsers and XML validators like MSXML SAX and DOM, Xerces, .NET, and more!

XML Code Folding

Stylus Studio's XML Editor features XML code folding, a powerful and intuitive way to maximize limited screen real-estate and help make sense of large XML files.
