The XML Module
The XML module enables you to create and edit XML documents. You can also create:
- Document type definition (DTD) files to define the structure of XML documents
- Cascading style sheets (CSS) to define the formatting of XML documents
- Extensible style sheets (XSL) to define the formatting of XML documents
- SAX and DOM classes for your Java programs
- XHMTL documentation for your DTD files
The Source Editor provides two modes for editing XML files:
- Text editor mode. Displays XML, DTD, and CSS files as text files
and includes many Source Editor functions such as syntax coloring, indentation,
and basic code completion.
- Tree editor mode. Displays XML documents as a hierarchical set
of nodes. You can create and edit nodes and their properties. The tree editor
mode also displays DTD files in read-only mode.
For more information on the XML standard, see the XML Tutorial at http://java.sun.com/xml/tutorial_intro.html/.
