Annotations

You use an annotation element to provide information about the XML Schema. You can annotate any node in your XML Schema. The annotation element always contains at least one appInfo or documentation node. Any text you want to enter must be entered in one of these nodes.

Diagram View

When you create an annotation in the Diagram tab, you create the element and specify its subelement ( appInfo or documentation) in the Diagram tab. You can further describe the node

To add an annotation:

The annotation icon appears in the Diagram tab .

3. Right-click the annotation icon and select the type of annotation you want to define - appInfo ( )or documentation ( ).

Tree View

To add an annotation:

2. In the left tool bar, click New Annotation . Stylus Studio creates and selects an Annotation node.

3. In the left tool bar, click New Documentation or New Application Info .

Double-click the Language field and enter the language of the contents of the source file.

5. In the left tool bar, click New Text . In the Tree view, Stylus Studio displays a field for the new text.

Moving a Comment or Annotation

If the parent of the new comment or annotation node has more than one child, you can move the comment or annotation with the up or down arrow. However, you cannot move the comment or annotation out of the scope of its parent.
