User Interface |
XMLSpy has a graphical user interface (see screenshot), which is organized into four broad parts:
| • | Project Window, which allows you to organize and edit files and groups of files into projects; and Info Window, which displays meta information about the document item being currently edited. |
| • | Main Window, where the document you edit appears. The number of document views available in the Main Window depends on the type of document being edited. You can switch between views whenever you want. |
| • | Entry Helper Windows, which vary according to the type of document being viewed and the view selected in the Main Window. The Entry Helpers help you to graphically edit your document. |
| • | Output Windows below the Main Window show the results of Validation, Find in Files, Find in Schema View, outlines of XSLT documents, XPath evaluations, and other messages. |
These windows can be docked under a menu bar and toolbar (see screenshot), or they can be freely arranged under the menu bar and toolbar. Their positions and sizes can be changed by dragging and re-sizing them, as well as by using the toggle on/off commands in the Window menu.
This section provides an introduction to these broad parts of the interface. Detailed descriptions of the various interface parts follow this section.
