XML Outliner

XML Outliner

<oXygen/> comes along with a powerful outliner which is automatically synchronized with the document changes. The document tree structure is presented as the document is edited. The modified element is immediately revealed and selected in the outliner. Also an element can be selected in the text editor by clicking on the corresponding node in the outliner. The outliner uses an extremely fast and robust parser being able to handle correctly XML documents that are not well formed.

The Outliner panel, located in the bottom left part of the Main Window offers the following functions:

• XML Document Overview

  The XML outliner displays a general tag overview of the current edited XML Document. It shows the hierarchical dependencies between the elements, making it easier for you to see the structure of the document.

  The outliner presents a short text that describes each element from the tree. The description is composed of the value of the first attribute and the first words from the text content of the rendered element. The buttons from the outliner toolbar allows you to filter out the attribute and the text values.

• Modification Follow-up

  When editing, the outliner dynamically follows the introduced modifications scrolling to the node which is currently being modified. This gives you better insight on how the document is affected by the modifications.

• Document Tag Selection

  The XML outliner can also be used to search for a specific tag's location and content in the edited document. When you select the tag node in the outliner then the XML document is scrolled to the position of the selected tag. Moreover, the content of the tag is selected in the document so you can copy and paste it in other parts of the document.
