Authentic View main window |
There are four viewing modes in Authentic View: Large Markup; Small Markup; Mixed Markup; and Hide All Markup. These modes enable you to view the document with varying levels of markup information. In Authentic Preview of StyleVision only two markup modes are available: Hide Markup and Show Large (Full) Markup.
To switch between modes, use the commands in the Authentic menu or the icons in the toolbar (see the previous section, Authentic View toolbar icons).
Large markup
This shows the start and end tags of elements and attributes with the element/attribute names in the tags:
The element Name in the figure above is expanded, i.e. the start and end tags, as well as the content of the element, are shown. An element/attribute can be contracted by double-clicking either its start or end tag:
To expand the contracted element/attribute, double-click the contracted tag.
In large markup, attributes are recognized by the symbol @ in the start and end tags of the attribute:
Hide all markup
All XML markup is hidden. Since the formatting seen in Authentic View is the formatting of the printed document, this viewing mode is a WYSIWYG view of the document.
Content display
In Authentic View, content is displayed in two ways:
| • | Plain text. You type in the text, and this text becomes the content of the element or the value of the attribute. |
| • | Data-entry devices. The display contains either an input field (text box), a multiline input field, combo box, check box, or radio button. In the case of input fields and multiline input fields, the text you enter in the field becomes the XML content of the element or the value of the attribute. |
In the case of the other data-entry devices, your selection produces a corresponding XML value, which is specified in the StyleVision Power Stylesheet. Thus the selection "approved" in the display example below could map to an XML value of "1", or to "approved", or anything else; while "not approved" in the display could map to "0", or "not approved", or anything else.
Optional nodes
When an element or attribute is optional (according to the referenced schema), a prompt of type "add [element/attribute]" is displayed:
Clicking the prompt adds the element, and places the cursor for data entry. If there are multiple optional nodes, the prompt "add..." is displayed. Clicking the prompt displays a menu of the optional nodes.
