Author ViewsThe content author is supported by special views which are automatically synchronized with the current editing contextof the editor panel. The views present additional information about this context thus helping the author to see quicklythe current location in the overall document structure and the available editing options.Outline ViewThe Outline view offers the following functionality:• Document Overview• Outline View Specific Actions• Modification Follow-up• Document Structure Change• Document Tag SelectionAuthoring in the Visual Editor | 80Figure 39: The Outline ViewXML Document OverviewThe Outline view displays a general tag overview of the current edited XML Document. It also shows the correcthierarchical dependencies between the tag elements. That makes easier for the user to be aware of the document structureand the way tags are nested. It allows fast navigation of the document by displaying the start of the content of the childelements in the node of the parent element thus allowing to see quickly the content of an element without expanding itin the Outline tree. It also allows the user to insert or delete nodes using pop-up menu actions.The Expand all and Collapse all items of the popup menu available on the Outline tree enlarge or reduce the set of nodesof the edited document currently visible in the view. The tree expansion action is a faster alternative to mouse clicks onthe plus signs of the tree when one wants to access quickly a node deeply nested in the hierarchy of document nodes.When a large number of nodes become expanded and the document structure is not clear any more, the collapsing actionclears the view quickly by reducing the depth of the expanded nodes to only one child of the currently selected node.Document errors (such as an element inserted in an invalid position, or a wrong attribute name, or a missing requiredattribute value) are highlighted in the Outline tree. An easy-to-spot exclamation mark sign is used as element icon, ared underline decorates the element name and value and a tooltip provides more information about the nature of theerror.
