Getting Homesite 5.0 to validate xhtml transitional

It has a built-in setting for HTML 4.0 and xhtml strict but no transitional. I can't find anything on the Macromedia site that would work, and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to create a custom setting (which is a pain in the bum because I'd have to change all the validation settings individually for every single tag...)

And no, I do not want to use another validator. I want Homesite to do it right within the program interface rather than having to switch to another program every 2 seconds.

Megan,
I don't use Homesite but I just went "googling" and found these. Might not be what you need but maybe they will be of some assistance.

This one mostly gives dreamweaver tips but you may find something useful. I didn't read it all.

Yeah, I did the google search, found nothing, that's why I thought I'd ask here..

Well, I think I figured it out. I guess it was just a matter of testing a page with the right doctype in it.... or, I don't know. I did manage to define a custom validation version but I didn't change everything in it so I don't know what's going on, but it is working!
