The method and type of testing is set by the file, caller flags and options. Base options are set as follows:

Application Options — These are set in the preferences.

Override Options — Setting any options above or a DTD (DTD_DEFAULT_) resets all options and applies the specified bits as part of the flags parameter..

Specified DTD as iXBRL — Will set the following options:

Set – Use XML Conventions
Set – Test Namespace Unique Names
Set – Check Character Entities
Set – W3C Compliant Names
Set – Check Tag Nesting
Set – Value Quote Mode to XHTML

Calling Flags — If specified, calling flags will override certain options. Force XML Checking will change the following options:

Reset – Display All Errors
Set – Use XML Conventions
Set – Check Tag Nesting
Reset – Don't Care About < /> Spacing

If calling flags are set for Force XBRL HTML:

Set – W3C Compliant Names

Source DTD — A source DTD or schema will override various options.

Initial options can be overridden by a DTD or schema specified in the source file. Also, calling flags will override options. For example, setting HV_EC_FLAG_FORCE_XML will override any conflicting settings. Setting any of the validation option bits or setting the DTD will automatically reset the initial state of all option bits. If no option bits are set, then the application settings are employed.

Progress class is inherited from the script.
