Content Completion in XML Schema

The intelligent Content Completion Assistant allows you to quickly identify and insert elements, attributes, and attribute values that are valid in the current editing context. All available proposals are listed in a pop-up menu displayed at the current cursor position.

Depending on the selected schema version, Oxygen XML populates the proposals list with information taken either from XML Schema 1.0 or 1.1.

Oxygen XML helps you to easily reference a component by providing the list of proposals (complex types, simple types, elements, attributes, groups, attribute groups, or notations) valid in the current context. The components are collected from the current file or from the imported/included schemas.

When editing <xs:annotation> or <xs:appinfo> elements of an XML Schema, the Content Completion Assistant proposes elements and attributes from a custom schema (by default ISO Schematron). This feature can be configured from the XSD Content Completion preferences page.
