Oxygen XML Developer Eclipse plugin includes a new document template to help you get started creating HTML content. It is available when creating new documents from templates and can be found in the New Document folder or by typing html in the search field.
Text Mode Editor
You can edit HTML files in the Text editing mode using all of its useful features. It includes content completion based on a special HTML schema, syntax highlighting, a specialized Outline view that presents the structure, folding support, and more.
HTML documents support formatting and indenting single or multiple documents to make them more readable. The formatting works even if the document is not XML well-formed and it also works on embedded CSS or JavaScript code. The HTML formatting details are similar to those for XML documents. For details, see Formatting and Indenting XML Documents.
HTML-Specific Contextual Menu Actions
There are some specialized actions (available in the contextual menu when you right-click anywhere in the current HTML document) that invoke features unique to HTML documents. These contextual menu actions include:
View in
Browser/System Application- Opens the HTML document in your default browser.
- Minify HTML
- Compresses the HTML document by removing unnecessary white spaces, without affecting the functionality of the document, but significantly reducing the loading time in Web browsers.
- HTML to XML Well-formed
- Converts the currently edited HTML document to be XML well-formed. This means that unclosed tags will be properly closed, unquoted attribute values will be quoted, and more. This is helpful if, for example, you use XSLT stylesheets while applying transformations on HTML documents (since the transformation will require the HTML document to be XML well-formed).
