Displaying the XPath Query Editor

  • Click the Show XPath Query Editor button on the XML Editor tool bar ( ).

The XPath Query Editor appears. Any previously created queries are displayed on individual tabs. If no queries have been created, a new tab, labeled Query1, is displayed.

Customizing Syntax Coloring

The XPath Query Editor uses Stylus Studio's syntax coloring, and you can change the default settings for several XPath Query Editor properties on the Editor Format page of the Options dialog box.

1. Click Tools > Options > General > Editor Format to display the Editor Format page of the Options dialog box.

The Options dialog box appears.
