  • Main menu - provides menu driven access to all the features and functions available in <oXygen/> Tree Editor perspective.

  • Toolbar - provides easy access to common and frequently used functions. Each icon is a button that acts as a shortcut to a related function.

  • Editor panel - easy editing of structured mark-up documents. Each token has associated an icon for a easy visual identification of the tokens.

  • Message panel - display messages returned from user operations.

  • Model panel - show the detailed information about the attribute or element that you are working on.

  • All Elements panel - present a list of all defined elements that you can insert within your document.

The tree editor does not offer entity support: entities are not presented with a special type of node in the tree and new entity nodes cannot be inserted in the document.
