Switch to XML text editor

You can change the Main Editing area from the default Author mode to an XML text editor. Switching to the text editor lets you edit the XML directly.

To switch the Main Editing area to an XML text editor:

  1. On the Oxygen Web Author toolbar, click Preferences button.
  2. From the drop-down list, select Edit as XML.
    The content in the Main Editing area loads in the text editor as XML.
  3. (Optional): To switch back, click Switch to Author mode.
