Hi Mark,
Technically, no. It doesn't use an SGML parser for "official" validation.
There's been virtually NO demand to add DTD validation to the program so I
have not done much research into adding it. If and when there is a good
demand for it (which I believe will be unlikely), then I would definitely
investigate it. There was enough demand to add HTML Tidy support, so it now
has the option and capability to display HTML Tidy's messages with CSE's
messages or by themselves. I could do something similar with the results
from a real SGML parser, but, like I said, it's not what people really want.
