An editor highlight is a text fragment emphasized by a colored background. Highlights are generated in both Editor and Author mode, when the following actions generate results: XPath, Find All, and Find in Files.
By default, Oxygen XML Author uses a different color for each type of highlight: XPath, Find, Search References, and Search Declarations. You can customize these colors and the maximum number of highlights displayed in a document on the Editor preferences page. The default maximum number of highlights is 10000.
You are able to navigate in the current document through the highlights using one of the
following methods:
- Clicking the markers from the range ruler, located at the right side of the document.
- Clicking the
Next and Previous buttons from the
bottom of the range ruler.Note: When there are multiple types of highlights in the document, theNext and Previous buttons navigate
through highlights of the same type. - Clicking the messages displayed in the Results view.
- Click the
Remove all button from bottom of the range ruler. - Close the results tab that contains the output of the action that generated the highlights.
- Click the
Remove
all button from the results panel. Note: Use the
Highlight all results in
editor button to either display all the highlights or hide them.
