Symbols and icons

Document Editor uses easily recognizable symbols to display the various XML elements.
There are different ways to customize the Document Editor view: hide all markup, show small markup, show large markup and show mixed markup.

ic_doc_ed_viewClicking this icon switches to the Document Editor view in XML Spy. This view is automatically opened when you open a template file (*.sps). Clicking the icon causes a dialog box to appear if the active file is not a template file. You can then select the template file of your choice.  

Template files (*.sps) can only be created in XSLT Designer, please see the XSLT Designer documentation for more information on how to do this.  

You can of course, click the Enhanced Grid view or Text view icon, and edit your document there.

Bullets and numbering
Bullets and numbering symbols may occur in the sps template file you open. The type and positioning of these symbols are defined in XSLT Designer. If these symbols occur under the para tag, then hitting Enter will automatically add a new bullet or number to the new paragraph. The numbering will be automatically incremented using this method.
