Help About

In order to display the help section related to a specific GUI component of XXE, first execute this command (the cursor changes signaling that you are now in contextual help mode) and then click on that component.

Show Content Model

Opens a window containing an hypertext reference manual listing all elements and attributes specified in the DTD, W3C XML Schema or RELAX NG schema of the document being edited.

This manual, which is organized like "DocBook: The Definitive Guide" by Norman Walsh and al., is intended to help content authors understand the DTD or schema of the document being edited.

Mouse and Key Bindings

Displays a dialog box containing the mouse and key bindings (that is, the mouse or keyboard user interaction used to trigger a command) that can be used in current document view.

This menu item is available in all editions of XMLmind XML Editor, but is hidden by default. You need to enable it by checking "Enable the Developer Tools" in OptionsPreferences, Features section.

Plug-ins

Displays a dialog box containing information about all plug-ins currently loaded into XXE.

This menu item is available in all editions of XMLmind XML Editor, but is hidden by default. You need to enable it by checking "Enable the Developer Tools" in OptionsPreferences, Features section.

Install Evaluation Key

Allows to transform XMLmind XML Editor Personal Edition to an Evaluation Edition by installing an evaluation key.

XMLmind XML Editor Evaluation Edition has exactly the same features as Professional Edition. It may not be used for purposes other than the evaluation of the Professional Edition product. The evaluation period lasts seven days. After that, XMLmind XML Editor automatically and silently returns to its initial Personal Edition state.

This menu item displays a dialog box allowing to specify the file containing the evaluation key.

This evaluation key must have been downloaded from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/evaluate.html.

This menu item basically checks the validity of the evaluation key and then copies it to XXE_user_preferences_directory/evaluationKey.properties. After that, suffice to restart XMLmind XML Editor to activate all the features of Professional Edition.

This menu item is absent from XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition.

About XMLmind XML Editor

Displays the customary About dialog box.

Shift-clicking on this menu item[9] adds more information (system properties, environment variables) to the About dialog box and at the same time, copies the contents of the dialog box to the clipboard. Doing this is recommended before sending a bug report to xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com.
