The following helper actions are available in the XML editor:
-
Closing tag auto-expansion - If you want to insert content into an auto closing tag like <tag/> deleting the /
character saves some keystrokes by inserting a separate closing tag automatically and
placing the cursor between the start and end tags: <tag></tag>
-
Auto-rename matching tag - When you edit the name of the start tag,
Oxygen XML Developer
will mirror-edit the name
of the matching end tag. This feature can be controlled from the
Content Completion option page.
-
Auto-breaking the edited line - The
Hard line wrap option breaks the edited line automatically when its
length exceeds the maximum line length defined for the
pretty-print operation.
- Indent on Enter - The
Indent on Enter option indents the new line inserted when Enter is
pressed.
- Smart Enter - The
Smart Enter option inserts an empty line between the start and end tags. If
Enter is pressed between a start and an end tag the action places the cursor in an indented
position on the empty line between the lines that contain the start and end tag.
- Triple
click - A triple click with the left mouse button selects a
different region of text of the current document depending on the position of the click in
the document:
- if the click position is inside a start tag or an end tag then the entire element
enclosed by that tag is selected
- if the click position is immediately after a start tag or immediately before an end
tag then the entire content of the element enclosed by that tag is selected, including
all the child elements but excluding the start tag and the end tag of the element
- otherwise the triple click selects the entire current line of text
