The "Node Settings..." command allows you to define the properties of each node i.e. element/attribute in the Design view, for further processing in Document Editor.

To define node settings:
1.Click a node start or end tag (element/attribute tag).  
2.Select the menu option Document Editor | Node Settings... (or right click the tag and select "Editor Node settings..." from the popup menu).  
 
Note: You have to click a tag to be able to edit the node settings, clicking the (Contents) placeholder does not make this possible.
