| <h1 class="topictitle1">Navigating XML schemas</h1> |
| <div><p>When you are working in the Source view, you can use F3 to navigate |
| through the file by placing your cursor in the appropriate item and clicking |
| F3 to jump to the item it refers to. </p> |
| <div class="section"><p>You can jump to any of the following items:</p> |
| <ul><li>Element or attribute declaration's type</li> |
| <li>Element references</li> |
| <li>Group references</li> |
| <li>Attribute references</li> |
| <li>Attribute group references</li> |
| <li>Import, include, and redefine element (the external schema will open in |
| the XML schema editor. This only works with schemas in the workspace).</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>You must place your cursor exactly in the location of the reference |
| (for example between the double quotes for <tt class="sysout">type = " "</tt> or |
| <tt class="sysout">base = " "</tt>).</p> |
| <p>For example, |
| if you place your cursor anywhere in the following text and click F3:</p> |
| <p> <tt class="sysout"><element |
| name="shipTo" type="po:USAddress"></element></tt> </p> |
| <p>the |
| cursor will automatically jump to the location in the file where the type |
| USAddress is defined.</p> |
| <p>Or, if you place your cursor anywhere in the following |
| text and click F3:</p> |
| <p> <tt class="sysout"><element ref="po:ContactElement"></element></tt> </p> |
| <p>the |
| cursor will automatically jump to the location in the file where the global |
| element ContactElement is defined.</p> |
| <p>This works across files. For example, |
| if the type you have selected is defined in another XML schema and you click |
| F3, you will automatically be taken to that file.</p> |
