| <h1 class="topictitle1">Setting annotation preferences for markup languages</h1> |
| <div><p>This documentation describes how to set <dfn class="term">annotation preferences</dfn> for |
| Web and XML files. The annotation preferences include whether to analyze the |
| syntactic validity of your file while you are typing and what colors to use |
| to highlight errors, warnings, tasks, search results, bookmarks, and other |
| text.</p><div class="skipspace"> <p>By default, when you edit in a structured text editor, your source |
| code is validated as you type it in. Like other Eclipse-based editors, the |
| structured text editors for markup languages flag warnings and errors in the |
| source code in the editor area. The warnings and errors also show up in the |
| Tasks view when you save the file.</p> |
| <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note: </span>Highlighting is fully dynamic |
| with the exception of search results. Search results are highlighted based |
| upon what has been saved to disk.</div> |
| <div class="tip"><span class="tiptitle">Tip: </span>You can improve a |
| structured text editor's performance by turning off the real-time validation.</div> |
| <p>To |
| set annotation preferences, complete the following steps:</p> |
