How to Perform Batch Validation/Conversion

Batch validation and conversion may only be performed on files that belong to a project.

Batch Validation...

1 The project you wish to validate files in should be open and visible in the Project View Workspace.

2 Right-click on the project name.

3 Click on the Validate All Files context menu item.

4 The Tool View is displayed with the validation results in the Errors pane.

Batch Conversion...

1 The project you wish to convert files in should be open and visible in the Project View Workspace.

2 Right-click on the project name.

3 Click on the Convert All XML Files Using XSL context menu item.

4 The Output View is displayed with the output files in an expandable file tree (similar to the Project View). The Tool View is also displayed, with the conversion results in the Errors pane.


Tip: You can select an output folder destination (when converting files) by selecting the Set Output Folder context menu item. This will temporarily override the Default Output Directory set in Preferences.

You can convert/validate files in a sub-folder of the project by right-clicking on the folder name and following steps 3-4 above.

Note: You can also perform batch validation and conversion using XMLwriter's command line tool.
