XML Editor Schema Tab

To display the XML editor, open an XML document, or select File > New > XML Document from the Stylus Studio menu bar. At the bottom of the XML editor window, click the Schema tab.

The Schema tab of the XML editor displays a collapsible and expandable tree representation of the schema for the current XML document. In this view, you can add any kind of node allowed in a schema.

Fields

Query

Type a query that you want to run on this XML document. Click Refresh Query to run the query. Stylus Studio displays the results of the query in the Query Output pane. Click the down arrow to select a previously defined query or define a new query.

Buttons for Editing

The buttons along the top of the Schema tab allow you to edit the tree. Hover help is available to determine what each button does.

Buttons for Adding Nodes

Buttons in the left tool bar of the Schema tab allow you to define elements, entities, and comments in the schema. For a description of the buttons, see DTD Schema Editor Tree Tab and XML Schema Editor Tree Tab.

To add a node, select a node that is already in the DOM tree, and then click the button for the type of node you want to add. Stylus Studio adds the new node relative to the node you selected.
