editor. You create a new XML file that is not associated with a DTD or XML

<div class="section"><p>The following instructions were written for the Resource perspective,
but they will also work in many other perspectives.</p>
<p>To create a new
XML file, follow these instructions:</p>
</div>
<ol>
<li><span>If necessary, create a project to contain the XML file.</span></li>
<li><span>In the workbench, click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span>
&gt; <span class="uicontrol">New</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Other</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">XML</span>
&gt; <span class="uicontrol">XML</span></span> and click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>.</span>
</li>
<li><span>Select the project or folder that will contain the XML file.</span>
</li>
<li><span>In the <span class="uicontrol">File name</span> field, type the name of
the XML file, for example <kbd class="userinput">MyXMLFile.xml</kbd>. The name of
your XML file <var class="varname">must</var> end in <kbd class="userinput">.xml</kbd>.</span>
</li>
<li><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Next.</span></span></li>
