Before you begin
Open the publication in Publication Manager.
The Validator PDF output highlights specific tagging issues so that you can locate and correct them. See Validator output formatting for a list of the elements the output highlights.
Note:
It’s strongly recommended that you produce a Validator output for your outputs during content development. It’s especially important that you produce a Validator output before making any deliveries to Localization and before releasing your topics. Leave yourself enough time to make any necessary corrections.
  1. Select the Output tab.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the Select Output Format dialog box, select Validator PDF and click Next.
  4. When the Add Publication Output dialog box displays, select en-us as the Language combination.
  5. If you want the validator output to include highlighting for the inline elements that aren’t reused, select Hide line numbers under Draft option.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The validator output only checks for reuse of the following elements: <product>, <application>, <uicontrol>, <wintitle>, and <version>. Reuse of the <product> and <application> elements is required. Reuse of the <uicontrol>, <wintitle>, and <version> elements is required for localized content and strongly encouraged for other content.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Click Publish.
