• When an XML document has an internal DTD, one can edit view and edit it in both the Schema tab and the Text tab of the XML editor. The Schema tab works by selecting options from pop-up windows, which is great if one understands the options.
  
  
• To create an external schema file for an XML document, open the XML document and click on the Schema tab. Select XML -> Create Schema from XML Content. One obtains a Create Schema or DTD dialog box. Select Generate XML Schema and specify a path name.
