XML Authority's default format is the XML 1.0 Document Type Definition format, which works with all validating XML 1.0 parsers. There may be times, however, when you want to export your schema to a different format, or produce a document presenting the structure described by the schema. XML Authority provides support for the four different schema formats that have been submitted to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and provides an option for creating a sample XML 1.0 document.
To export your schema to a particular format, select the format you need from the File Menu's Export submenu, as shown below in Figure A.
Figure A - Export Options on the File Menu.
All of the Export options work the same way. You will be presented with a file dialog box like that shown below. Choose where you want to save the exported schema, type in the filename, and click the Save button.
