XML Nodes in the Explorer
See Also
The IDE displays all XML documents as XML object nodes (
)
in the Explorer.
Contextual Menu Commands
The contextual menu for XML nodes contains the following special commands for
working with XML files:
- Edit. Displays the document in the Source Editor. You can also
double-click an XML document to open it in the Source Editor.
- View. Displays the document in the IDE's default external browser.
- Reload Document. Reloads any external entities referenced by
the XML document.
- Check XML. Checks your XML document to ensure that its grammar
is well-formed. The Output window lists any errors detected by the IDE along
with the line number where the error was detected. This location is not necessarily
the line where the error occurred. You can double-click any error message
to go to the line in the XML file where the error was detected.
- Validate XML. If the XML document has a corresponding document
type definition (DTD), checks the XML document's contents against the DTD
for syntax errors.
- Generate DTD. Automatically generates an external DTD based
on the XML document's structure.
- XSL Transformation. Transforms the data in your XML document with
any existing XSL document.

If your version of the IDE includes the XML Tree
Editor, XML nodes also include additional subnodes and properties. See the
XML Tree Editor help for details about these options. |
