TextGrid : Features of the WYSIWYM View

Block and Inline Markers

In the default setting no tags are displayed in the WYSIWYM Editing View. To show the Block Markers, which mark nested divisions of an XML file, select  in the main toolbar. To show the Inline Markers, which mark the single elements of an XML document, select  in the main toolbar.

Insert Elements

You can insert new elements by right-click at a certain position in the editor and selecting “Insert Element” (alternatively select “XML > Insert Elements”  in the menu bar). For this it is recommended to activate the "Show Inline Markers" button on the toolbar. In case some text is highlighted in the editor when selecting “Insert Element(s)”, the new element will surround the highlighted text fragment. In both cases after selecting ’Insert Element(s)’ a list of suggested elements allowed at this position will appear. You can use the Up ↑ and Down ↓ keys on your keyboard to select an element and press “return” to insert it or double-click on an element in the list. To insert an element not provided in the proposal list, enter the name of the element in the editing field and click “Insert New”.
