You can easily validate your XML document against XSD using the Notepad++ application. Notepad++ is a popular text and source code editor for various programming languages and can also be used as a LaTeX editor. You can use its Plugins functionality to validate an XML document using an XSD file.
You can validate your XML documents against XML schemas only; validation against DTDs is not supported. However, although you cannot validate against DTDs, you can insert documents that contain a DOCTYPE or that refer to DTDs.
In Notepad++ go to Plugins > Plugin manager > Show Plugin Manager then find Xml Tools plugin. Tick the box and click Install
Open XML document you want to validate and click Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M (Or use Menu if this is your preference Plugins > XML Tools > Validate Now).
Following dialog will open:
Click on .... Point to XSD file and I am pretty sure you'll be able to handle things from here.
Hope this saves you some time.
EDIT:
Plugin manager was not included in some versions of Notepad++ because many users didn't like commercials that it used to show. If you want to keep an older version, however still want plugin manager, you can get it on github, and install it by extracting the archive and copying contents to plugins and updates folder.
In version 7.7.1 plugin manager is back under a different guise... Plugin Admin so now you can simply update notepad++ and have it back.
