 <h1 class="topictitle1">Editing XML files</h1>


 <div><p>This file contains information about editing XML files.</p>

 <div class="section"><p>To open an XML file in the XML editor, right-click it in the Navigator
 view and click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Open With</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">XML
 Editor</span></span>. </p>
 <p>We recommend working in the Resource
 perspective when you are developing XML files. The views that appear by default
 in this perspective (such as the Outline view) help facilitate XML development.</p>
 <p>The
 XML editor enables you to directly edit XML files. There are several different
 views you can use to edit your files:</p>
 <ul>
 <li><strong>Source view</strong> - you can manually insert, edit, and delete elements
 and attributes in the Source view of the XML editor. To facilitate this effort,
 you can use content assist while you are in the Source view.</li>

 <li><strong>Design view</strong> - you can insert, delete, and edit elements, attributes,
 comments, and processing instructions in this view.</li>

 <li><strong>Outline view </strong>- you can insert and delete elements attributes, comments,
 and processing instructions in this view.</li>

 </ul>
 <p>Often, you may find that you have more than one way to perform a specific
 task. For example, you have an XML file "MySchoolSubjects.xml" associated
 with an XML schema file "SchoolSubjects.xsd", which list all the subjects
 taught in a school. You want to insert a new element "Math" into your file.
 You can do so in the following ways:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>In the Outline or Design view, right-click the appropriate parent element
 and select <span class="uicontrol">Math</span> from the <span class="uicontrol">Add Child</span> pop-up
 menu.</li>

 <li>In the Source view, use content assist to help you find the appropriate
 location and code for the <span class="uicontrol">Math</span> element.</li>

 <li>In the Source view, type the code for the <span class="uicontrol">Math</span> element
 in the file.</li>

 </ul>
