To invoke the Smart Catalog, place the cursor at the end of any element tag where you want to insert the new element and enter “<”. The editor shows a list of all valid XML elements that you can insert at that location. Use the arrow keys to select the element that you want to insert and press Enter. When you enter the closing bracket "> the closing tag for the element is automatically added.

You can also change an element easily from the Source view. For example, if you change the opening tag of a p element to note, then the closing p tag is automatically changed to /note. In case you replace an element with an incorrect element, then you are immediately shown the Validation Error.

If you want to add an attribute to an element, place the cursor inside the element tag and press the Space bar. A list of valid attributes for that element is sown in the Smart Catalog. Use the arrow keys to select the desired element and hit Enter to insert the element. To specify a value for the attribute, enter the equals sign (=) and the editor automatically enters the opening and closing quotes “” wherein you can specify the attribute’s value.

In the Source view, there is an Auto Indent option that reorganizes the XML code in presentable and easily readable format. Also, if you select any text and switch from Author to Source or from Source to Author view, the selected text is also highlighted in the other view.

Another powerful feature in the Source view is the XML validation in your document. If you open a document containing invalid XML, it is opened in the Source view with the information about invalid XML. For example, in the following screenshot the exact information about the erroneous XML is given in the Parse Error pop-up.

In the above screenshot, a cross highlight is used to point the line containing erroneous XML.

The Find and Replace feature allows you to search for any text, element, or attribute in the Source View.
For more details, see the Find and Replace feature description in the Main toolbar section.

The Source View provides many shortcuts to help you quickly navigate and work on a document. The following table lists the supported actions and their shortcut keys:

No Markup: In this view, all insertions and deletions are accepted, and a simple view of the document is presented. In this view, you do not see any track changes markups.

Original: In this view, all insertions are rejected and all deletions are restored back, and then a preview is shown. Simply, you get the original form of the document before you enabled the track changes mode.

Show Markup: In this view, you get all markups for inserted and deleted content.
