 <dlentry>
 <dt>Syntax highlighting</dt>
 <dd>Each tag type is highlighted differently, enabling you to easily find
 a certain kind of tag for editing. In addition, syntax highlighting is valuable
 in locating syntax errors. For example, if you begin a comment in the middle
 of the document with <codeph>&lt;!--</codeph> everything until the next <codeph>--></codeph> is
 considered a comment, and will be highlighted accordingly. The large highlighted
 area will indicate that you need to add <codeph>--></codeph> to close the
 comment.<p>You can customize the syntax highlighting. Refer to the related
 tasks for more information.</p></dd>
 </dlentry></dl><dl><dlentry>
 <dt>Unlimited undo and redo</dt>
 <dd>These options allow you to incrementally undo and redo every change made
 to a file for the entire editing session. For text, changes are incremented
 one character or set of selected characters at a time.</dd>
 </dlentry><dlentry>
 <dt>Content assist</dt>
 <dd>Content assist helps you finish tags and insert macros. Refer
 to the related task for more details.</dd>
 </dlentry><dlentry>
 <dt>Template</dt>
 <dd>You can access templates (using content assist) to help you quickly add
 regularly-used tagging combinations. Refer to the related task for more details.</dd>
 </dlentry><dlentry>
 <dt>Node selection</dt>
 <dd>Based on the location of your cursor (or selection in the Outline view),
 the node selection indicator highlights the line numbers that include a node
 (for example, an element or attribute), in the vertical ruler in the left
 area of the Source view.</dd>
 </dlentry><dlentry>
 <dt>Pop-up menu options</dt>
 <dd>From the editor's pop-up menu, you have many of the same editing options
 available as you do from the workbench  <b>Edit</b> menu. You can select menu
 options such as: <uicontrol>Cleanup Document,</uicontrol> to open the <uicontrol>Cleanup</uicontrol>
 dialog, which contains settings to update a document so that it is well-formed

 entire document or selected elements.</dd>

 the file in the Navigator view and click <uicontrol>Open With > XML Editor</uicontrol>). </cmd>

 smart double-clicking behavior to select attribute values, attribute-value
 pairs, and entire tag sets to quickly update, copy, or remove content.</info>
 </step>
 <step><cmd>At intervals, you might wish to format individual nodes, or the
 entire XML file to restore element and attribute indentation to see nesting
