| 22 | <div><p>This product provides a comprehensive visual XML development environment. |
| syeshin | d0bdb8e | 2005-10-27 17:44:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 23 | The tool set includes components for building DTDs, XML schemas, and XML files.</p><p>The following XML tools are available:</p> |
| syeshin | befd53e | 2005-07-27 18:16:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | <p>The <b>XML editor</b> is a tool for creating and viewing XML files. You |
| 25 | can use it to create new XML files, either from scratch, existing DTDs, or |
| 26 | existing XML schemas. You can also use it to edit XML files, associate them |
| 27 | with DTDs or schemas, and validate them.</p> |
| syeshin | d0bdb8e | 2005-10-27 17:44:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | <p>The <b>DTD editor</b> is a tool for creating and viewing DTDs. </p> |
| 29 | <p>The <b>XML schema editor</b> is a tool for creating, viewing, and validating |
| 30 | XML schemas. You can use the XML schema editor to perform tasks such as creating |
| 31 | XML schema components and importing and viewing XML schemas. </p> |
| syeshin | befd53e | 2005-07-27 18:16:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | <div class="skipspace">Exercise caution when opening large files with any of the XML editors. |
| 33 | If the memory limits of the workbench are exceeded, it will abruptly close |
| 34 | without saving any data (and without warning or error messages). The number |
| 35 | of elements in an XML file, not its size, is the best indicator of how much |
| 36 | memory will be required. Memory requirements also depend on what else is open |
| 37 | in the workbench - in some cases you can open a 15 megabytes file, but in |
| 38 | other cases a one-megabyte file may cause problems. Therefore, we recommend |
| 39 | you save all data in the workbench before opening large XML files. This is |
| 40 | a permanent restriction.</div> |
| 41 | <div class="skipspace"><p>The |
| 42 | behavior of the XML parser when encountering an unresolvable URI (for example, |
| 43 | in a DOCTYPE declaration) is to report a fatal IO error and stop any further |
| 44 | processing. An unresolved URI is seen neither as a syntactic nor a semantic |
| 45 | error and as such, the parser does not attempt to handle it. Essentially, |
| 46 | the document remains unchecked. This is a known problem.</p> |
