ate or open in SlickEdit® Core will be wrapped, but no Tag Layout settings will be applied. The second screen shot (the Current Document Options dialog) reflects that the global setting for Tag Layout is dis- abled. Therefore it cannot be enabled for the current document. To enable it for the current document, you would first need to enable the global setting by placing a check next to Format → XML/HTML Formatting → Enable HTML Formatting → Tag Layout. Then you can use the Current Document Op- tions dialog to enable it for the current document.

Working with Schemes

A formatting scheme is comprised of any number of individually-configurable XML or HTML tags and con- trols the formatting of your text when XML/HTML Formatting is enabled. You can create different schemes for use with either XML or HTML, and/or different schemes for use with different individual files. For example, you may want one scheme for HTML and a different scheme for XML. Or, you may want one scheme for creating new files and another for editing existing files.

Schemes are stored as XML files in the format <SchemeName>.xml, and are located in the formats- chemes/xwschemes subdirectory of your user configuration directory. Scheme files can be shared or checked into version control to ensure consistency in the formatting of your team’s XML/HTML files.

Use the XML/HTML Formatting Scheme Configuration dialog to work with schemes. You can access the dialog from Window → Preferences → SlickEdit → General → XML/HTML Formatting, or by using the xml_html_options command. Available schemes are listed in the Schemes column. The tags that make up each scheme are listed in the Tags column.
