The contextual menu of the Outline tree contains the following
actions:
- Edit attributes - A dialog is presented allowing the user to see and edit the attributes of the selected node.
- The Append child, Insert before and
Insert after submenus allow to quickly insert new tags in the
document at the place of the element selected in the Outline tree.
The Append child submenu lists the names of all the elements which
are allowed by the schema associated with the current document as child of the current
element. The effect is the same as typing the '<' character and selecting an element name
from the popup menu offered by the
content completion assistant. The Insert before and
Insert after submenus list the elements which are allowed by the
schema associated with the current document as siblings of the current element inserted
immediately before respectively after the current element.

Delete actions execute
the same actions as the
Edit menu items with the same name on the elements
currently selected in the Outline tree.

element by accessing the Paste before, Paste
after or Paste as Child actions.
- The Toggle Comment item encloses the currently selected element of
the Outline tree in an XML comment, if the element is not commented,
or removes the comment if it is commented.
- Using the Rename Element action the element from the caret position
and the elements that have the same name as the current element can be renamed according
with the options from the Rename dialog.

actions expand / collapse the selection and all its children.
