The HTML Pane

Source texts are automatically converted and formatted into well-formed XHTML

Xylescope automatically converts pages with markup errors in the source code  into well-formed X/HTML.  A special format guarantees clarity and good readability of the document regardless of the original text quality.

With common text editors one is confronted with the entire source code on opening a file. Xylescope, however, offers the possibility of working hierarchically within code snippets and thus it is easier to concentrate on segments of markup.

Example

  1. In the Column View click on "body".
  2. In the HTML Pane now only the "body" element and its descendants will be shown.
  3. In the HTML Pane click in the line with the h1-element.
  4. Try it out and see what happens when the lower arrow key is clicked several times. Upper arrow key returns back to the previous point.
  5. With the left and right arrow keys you can select parent and child elements.

Source code from any site can be exported using Edit > Copy. When choosing Edit > Copy the source code of the selected element is written to the pasteboard from where it can be copied over to other active applications. Character Entities will be automatically resolved. The only exceptions are '<' and '&', which are required in XML documents.

Please note that currently Xyle scope neither displays nor exports HTML comments. This is a restriction of WebKit - Safari's rendering engine - which is used to generate the tree of HTML elements that is displayed in the HTML Pane and Column View.
