You can easily edit attributes in Author mode by using the Attributes View and Oxygen XML Editor also allows you to edit attribute and element values in-place, directly in the Author mode, using an in-place attribute editor.
In-place Attributes Editor
Oxygen XML Editor includes an in-place attributes editor in
Author mode. To edit the attributes of an XML element in-place, do
one of the following:
- Select an element or place the cursor inside it and then press the Alt Enter keyboard shortcut.
- Double-click any named start tag when the document is edited in one of the following
display modes.:
Full Tags with Attributes,
Full Tags,
Block Tags, or
Inline Tags.
This opens an in-place attributes editor that contains the same content as the Attributes view. By default, this editor presents the Name and Value fields, with the list of all the possible attributes collapsed.
