is there a way to disable the "unrecognized entity" warning?

[DanLong]

Good morning!

For context, I am writing XML for MIL-STD-40051 technical manuals (DTD 7.0) and the IADS viewer software.

IADS supports using entities for boilerplate. Entity files must be declared.

For example, all the warning entities live in the file warnings.ent.

%WarningEntities;

When authoring, we just write the warning number as an entity.

&ws098;

IADS will recognize that is a warning, and go back and check the warnings.ent file for ws098, and pull the text from the entity file.

When I check XML syntax, the XML Tools plugin reports "Reference to undefined entity 'ws098'" and stops parsing.

Is there some way to disable that specific check?

We are using these entities all over the content, and not being able to check the rest of the document for real errors is really hard on my productivity.

Arbortext is clever enough to recognize the path to the entities file and pull the entity content from the file. I'm not looking for that level of performance, I just want to be able to ignore this class of error during syntax checks and validation.

Thanks,

Dan
