Introduction

Visual XML give you the opportunity to create and edit DTD (Document Type Definition) files and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) files.

Visual XML build a tree with the DTD and the XML file.

A DTD tree is divided in three sections. The notations section, the entities section and the elements section.

The 'Notation(s)' section is a folder for all the notations required in your DTD. Each leaf in this folder is call 'Notation'.

The 'Entity(ies)' section is a folder for all the entities required in your DTD. Each leaf in this folder is call 'Entity'.

The 'Element(s)' section is a folder for all the elements required in your DTD. Each leaf in this folder is call 'Element'. A element folder contains a folder name 'Content Model' and may contains Attributes leaf for this element.

The right pane is used for the display and creation/modification of the highlight item in the tree. By changing the selection in the tree, the informations at the right change accordingly.

There are many options available to complete an operation. You can use the menu item, the keyboard shortcut related to an menu item, an icon on the tool bar or accelerator key on a button. Sometimes, there is a popup menu that can be activated with the right mouse button when you are over an item in the tree or an item in the list of 'Selected' items of the content model..
