Printing option to ignore code colors?

Post by kensall »

Is there some printer-independent way to tell oXygen to print XML text view but ignore the color scheme? I love the color-coding while editing and viewing on-line, but our printers at work print the text in grayscale which renders the text hard to see.

TIA

Hello,

Unfortunately oXygen does not provide such an option.

A simple workaround for this is to open the XML file in a Text editor and print it there.
1. First, make sure you have the file linked in the current project. If not, right click on the editor tab and from the contextual menu choose Add to Project.

2. Close the editor with the XML file.

3. In the Project view right click on the XML file and from the contextual menu choose Open with -> Internal Editor, Text. Now the XML document won't have color coding and you can print it as you like.

4. To restore it back with color coding you first have to close the Text editor. Then in the Project view right click on the XML file and from the contextual menu choose Open with -> Internal Editor, XML Document

Regards,
