An editor highlight is a text fragment emphasized by a colored background.
Highlights are generated when the following
actions generate results:
- Find/Replace in Files
- Open/Find Resource
- Find All
- Find All Elements
- XPath in Files
- Search References
- Search Declarations
By default, Oxygen XML Developer uses a different color for each type of highlight (XPath in Files, Find/Replace, Search References, Search Declarations, etc.) 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 the highlights in the current document by using 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 at the bottom of the editor.
- Click the
Remove all button from bottom of the range ruler. - Close the results tab at the bottom of the editor that contains the output of the action that generated the highlights.
- Click the
Remove
all button from the results panel at the bottom of the editor. Note: Use the
Highlight all results in
editor button to either display all the highlights or hide them.
