Dan -

You want to set

xmlDoValidityCheckingDefaultValue = 1;

The documentation on this is here:

http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-globals.html

If you need to specify the dtd in your code (rather than in having it
specified in the doc itself) there's example code in xmllint.c (look at the
stuff that handles the "--dtdvalid" command line option).
