| <h1 class="topictitle1">Navigating XML schemas</h1> |
| <div><p>When you are working in the Source view, you can use F3 to navigate |
| through the file. You can place your cursor in any of the following items |
| and press the F3 key to jump to the item it refers to. You must place your |
| cursor exactly in the location of the reference (for example between the double |
| quotes for <tt class="sysout">type = " "</tt> or <tt class="sysout">base |
| = " "</tt>):</p><div class="skipspace"><ul><li>Element or attribute declaration's type</li> |
| <li> Restriction (you jump to the base type it refers to) </li> |
| <li> List (you jump to the type it refers to) </li> |
| <li> Union (you jump to the type it refers to) </li> |
| <li>Element references</li> |
| <li>Key references</li> |
| <li>Group references</li> |
| <li>Attribute references</li> |
| <li>Attribute group references</li> |
| <li>Import, include, and redefine element (the external schema will open in |
| the XML schema editor. This only works with schemas in the workspace).</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>For example, if you place your cursor anywhere in the bolded text |
| below and click F3:</p> |
| <p> <tt class="sysout"><element name="shipTo" type="po:USAddress"></element></tt> </p> |
| <p>the |
| cursor will automatically jump to the location in the file where the type |
| USAddress is defined.</p> |
| <p>Or, if you place your cursor anywhere in the bolded |
| text below and click F3:</p> |
| <p> <tt class="sysout"><element ref="po:ContactElement"></element></tt> </p> |
| <p>the |
| cursor will automatically jump to the location in the file where the global |
| element ContactElement is defined.</p> |
| <p>This works across files. For example, |
| if the type you have selected is defined in another XML schema and you click |
| F3, you will automatically be taken to that file.</p> |
