Validating an Alias Map
Once you have created an alias map, or as you create one, you should validate it to make sure that it conforms to the rules of the DTD. To validate the alias map currently open in the Alias Map Editor, choose Tools > Validate Alias Map File.
Errors or warnings associated with the alias map will display in an Alias Map Editor Error Messages window. A status bar message will indicate if the alias map is valid.
* 
The Alias Map Editor will generate warnings during validation if it detects element, attribute, or attribute value names that are not defined in the DTD.
When loading an alias map file, Arbortext Editor will ignore aliases for element, attribute, or attribute value names that are not defined in the DTD. This enables you to use a single map file for two similar document types.
