The Editor perspective is used for editing the content
of your documents.
When two or more
views
are displayed, the application provides divider bars.
Divider
bars
can be dragged to a new position
increasing the space occupied by one panel while decreasing it for the
other.
As the
majority of the work process centers around the Editor
area,
other
views
can be
hidden
using the
controls
located on the
views
headers.
This perspective organizes the workspace in the
following
sections:
- Main menu - Provides menu driven access to all the features and
functions available within
Oxygen XML Author
.
- Main toolbar - Provides easy access to common and frequently used
functions. Each icon is a button that acts as a shortcut to a related function.
- Editor
area
- The place where you spend most of your time, reading, editing, applying markup and
validating your documents.
- Outline view -
It provides an XML document overview
and offers
functions such as
modifications
follow-up, document structure change, document tag
selection,
elements filtering.
- Model
view
- Presents the
current
edited element
structure model
and
additional
documentation as
defined in the schema.
- Results
view -
Displays
result messages
obtained
by performing user operations like search (the results of the
Find All action applied to
the
current file or the results of a find action applied on a set of files), validation, transformation and spell check.
The following actions are available in a vertical toolbar on the right side of the view:
Grouping options - allows
you to choose grouping criteria, which reflects into a flat or tree-like presentation of
the results. To display the results in a flat layout, you can either uncheck all
selected criteria or press the
Ungroup all button. All
these actions are also available in the table header contextual menu.
Remove
selected - removes the currently selected messages from the list.
Remove
all - clears the message list.
A contextual menu available on the table grid allows you to:
- Navigate to previous and next message. As alternative, you can use the default
shortcut keys: Ctrl + Shift + ](Meta + Shift + ] on Mac) for
navigating to the next and Ctrl + Shift + [ (Meta + Shift + [ on
Mac) for navigating to the previous message.
- Print the results or save them either in text or XML format.
- Expand or collapse all displayed items (with the shortcuts
Alt+Shift+PageUp for the
Expand All action and
Alt+Shift+PageDown for the
Collapse All action).
