The following refactoring actions are available while editing an XML document:
Rename dialog.
- the prefix of the element from the caret position and the elements that have the same prefix as the current element can be renamed according with the options from theSelecting the Rename current element prefix option, the application will recursively traverse the current element and all its children.
For example, to change the xmlns:p1="ns1" association existing in the current element to xmlns:p5="ns1", just select this option and press OK. If the association xmlns:p1="ns1" is applied on the parent of the current element, then Oxygen XML Editor plugin will introduce a new declaration xmlns:p5="ns1" in the current element and will change the prefix from p1 to p5. If p5 is already associated in the current element with another namespace, let's say ns5, then a dialog showing the conflict will be displayed. Pressing the OK button, the prefix will be modified from p1 to p5 without inserting a new declaration xmlns:p5="ns1". On Cancel no modification is made.
Selecting the Rename current prefix in all document option, the application will apply the change on the entire document.
To apply the action also inside attribute values one must check the Rename also attribute values that start with the same prefix checkbox.
