Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin provides a Grid view of an XML document. To configure the
Grid mode options, open the
Preferences dialog box and go to .
The following options are available:
- Compact representation
- If selected, the compact representation of the grid is used: a child
element is displayed beside the parent element. In the non-compact
representation, a child element is nested below the parent.
- Format and indent when passing from grid to text or on
save
- If selected, the content of the document is formatted and indented each time you
switch from the Grid view to the Text
view.
- Default column width (characters)
- Sets the default width (in characters) of a table column of the grid. A column may
contain the following:
- Element names
- Element text content
- Attribute names
- Attribute values
If the total width of the grid structure is too large you can resize any column by
dragging the column margins with the mouse pointer, but the change is not persistent. To
make it persistent, set the new column width with this option.

active cell and the selection always contains it.
