 <h1 class="topictitle1">XML schema editor</h1>
 <div><p>XML schemas are an XML language for describing and constraining
 the content of XML files. </p><p>XML schemas are a proposed alternative for the document type definition
 (DTD) based on XML. They are a formal specification of element names that
 indicates which elements are allowed in an XML file, and in which combinations.
 A schema is functionally equivalent to a DTD, but is written in XML; a schema
 also provides for extended functionality such as data typing, inheritance,
 and presentation rules.</p>
 <p>For more information on XML schema, refer to:</p>
 <ul><li> <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/</a> </li>

 </ul>
 <p>This product provides an XML schema editor for creating, viewing, and validating
 XML schemas. Using the XML schema editor, you can do the following:</p>
 <ul><li>Create and delete XML schema components such as complex types, simple
 types, elements, attributes, attribute groups, and groups</li>
 <li>Edit XML schemas</li>
 <li>Import existing XML schemas for structured viewing</li>
 </ul>
 <p>The XML schema support in the XML schema editor is based on the  </p>
 <p><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/" target="_blank">W3C
 XML Schema Recommendation Specification of 2 May 2001</a></p>
 <p>The XML Schema specification from the W3C Web site is used for validation.</p>
 <div class="skipspace"><h4 class="sectiontitle">XML schema editor views - Graph, Outline, Properties, and
 Source</h4>There are four main views you can work with in the XML schema
 editor:<ul><li>Graph - the Graph view provides a graphical way to edit your schema</li>
 <li>Outline - the Outline view shows you the main components in your XML schema.
 You can use this view to add and remove certain components.</li>
 <li>Properties - the Properties view enables you to edit the properties of
 your XML schema components</li>
 <li>Source - the Source view enables you to edit your source code directly</li>
 </ul>
 </div>
 <div class="skipspace"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Status of the XML schema</h4><p></p>
 <p>Three status indicators
 for the schema are available. They are in the bottom right corner:</p>
 <ul><li> <span class="uicontrol">Writable</span> or <span class="uicontrol">Read Only</span>. </li>
 <li> (Source view only) <span class="uicontrol">Smart Insert</span> or <span class="uicontrol">Overwrite</span>.
 To toggle between these modes, press the <span class="uicontrol">Insert</span> button
 on your keyboard.</li>
 <li> <span class="uicontrol">Line</span> and <span class="uicontrol">column</span> number. </li>
