The Edit Tag dialog box can be opened in any of these ways:
Invoking Plugins>XML>Edit Tag at Caret.
Double-clicking a tag in the text area while holding down Control.
Hitting return in the completion dialog, if the option is set from the XML Options.
Clicking on an element from the XML Insert dockable.
The dialog box lists all declared attributes for the current tag in a table. The columns of the table are as follows:
Set. A check box that controls if the attribute is specified or not. Required attributes are always specified.
Name. The name of the attribute.
Type. This will either be "text" or "choice". If the attribute is required, "required" will be appended.
Value. For "text" attributes, this is a text field. For "choice" attributes, this is a combo box. Depending on the schema, some attributes might define a default value.
Note that special characters entered in the text field are automatically converted to entities if necessary.
The Preview text field shows what the tag will look like with all currently-specified attributes. Clicking OK will insert the tag into the buffer.
