Displays the Options dialog box.

Reload All Configurations

Reloads all configuration files found by XXE at startup time. This command is disabled if one or more documents are opened in the editor.

Without this command, testing modifications made to an existing configuration requires you to restart the editor. Note that restarting the editor is still required to make it discover new configurations or to reload support code.

Show Attribute List in Tree View

Toggles the display of the attribute list in the tree view. When this option is turned off, the tree view just displays the number of attributes of an element.

Show Text Characters in Tree View

Toggles the display of text node characters in the tree view. When this option is turned off, the tree view represents a text node as an icon.

Show Comment Characters in Tree View

Toggles the display of comment node characters in the tree view. When this option is turned off, the tree view represents a comment node as an icon.

Show PI Characters in Tree View

Toggles the display of processing instruction node characters in the tree view. When this option is turned off, the tree view represents a processing instruction node as an icon.

Split Windows Vertically

Clicking on the dashed line of a document tab (also called a document window) causes the window area to be split in two parts. This allows to see two documents side by side.

If this option is turned on, the window area is split vertically. If this option is turned off (the default), the window area is split horizontally.

Note that turning this option on and off has an immediate effect on the window area, if this area is already split in two parts.
