<para>
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is wide standard for exchanging and
transferring data in application development. XML stores character data
in a structured way, using tags placed within the data representing its structure.
An XML document has a tree structure, where "XML element" tags comprise the nodes.
The "root element", begets all the other elements in the tree. All elements except the root
have a single parent. Elements may contain character data - "XML contents".
An element node may also own a list of "attributes".

KXML Editor is a program that lets you browse and edit XML files. Main window is divided
to two windows.
</para>

<para>
Left side contain tree widget with XML structure. XML document has tree structure, one (and only one)
element is root. Every element may own one or more child elements or contents items.
</para>

commands for edit XML document. Third toolbar contain Konqueror-like path bar, that display
path of selected XML item.
</para>

<para><interface>The Pathbar</interface> shows the path to the selected XML item,
You can type a path here and press <keycap>Enter</keycap> to go to it.
You may use combobox in path bar for select bookmarked item.
The black icon at the left hand end of the Pathbar clears the text entry box.

This command opens a file. It does this by means of a dialog box
which allows the user to navigate the file system. The dialog operates
like a small file manager. Clicking on directories displayed in the
central window directs the dialog to enter that directory - displaying its
contents. There is an entry/dropdown box which can be used to type in
directly the location and name of the file or by clicking the arrow at the
side choose from a dropdown list of recently used locations. Below this is
a filter which similarly may have data entered directly or chosen from a
dropdown list of recent filter types. The filter facility lets only files
that meet its specifications be displayed in the central window. If the
filter contained text such as <literal role="extension">*.xml</literal> then only files
with the txt extension would be visible in the selection window. Below the filter
is a status bar giving information about the number of files and subdirectories
within the current directory.
</para>

<para>The  toolbar, which is located at the top of the dialog, has left and right
arrow buttons that let the user move back and forth through previously selected
directories as well as an up arrow button for moving up the directory tree. The
button with the little house takes the user to his or her home directory and the one
with the two arrows curved in on each other updates the view of the current
directory. The flag button lets the user set a new bookmark at the current directory
or go to  one that was previously set. <!-- The button with the wrench (spanner) -->
<!-- icon even permits the user to change a few basic settings for the dialog -->
<!-- box. --> The last button on the toolbar allows you to create a new
directory, and finally  there is dropdown box with a list of some commonly
frequented directories.

This will call a display box showing a list of the most recent actions on the left and another
list of actions which have been 'undone' on the right. There are also three buttons at the
right of the box labeled Undo, Redo, and Close. Clicking on the Undo button will cause the action
at the top of the Undo list to be reversed which will place that particular action at the top of
the Redo list. Likewise, clicking on the Redo button will reinstate the reversed action and move
it back to the top of the Undo list. Clicking on an item below the top item in either list will
select all the items from the top down to that point. A subsequent click on the corresponding
button will cause all the selected actions to be undone or redone accordingly. This would be
particularly useful when the user knows precisely the point to which she or he would like to
proceed, making it unnecessary to go through a series of single undo or redo actions.

<para>This command opens a dialog box whereby the  key bindings may be changed.
A display window at
the top of the dialog box shows the list of commands (actions) that can have
keyboard shortcuts. Below the display are three radio buttons. The user may choose
between No Key, Default Key, and Custom Key. (Note that a set of radio buttons only
allows the selection of one of the offered items - in the way that buttons on a car
radio only offer the selection of one preset station. Also, the Default Key
selection  is only available for those commands that actually have a 'default'
shortcut.)  Selecting the Custom Key option activates the three check boxes and key
button at the bottom of the dialog. The user may then select a key
combination for the command in question by means of the check boxes and key
button. For example, with the About &tde; command selected in the display window,
the user could select <keycap>Ctrl</keycap> and <keycap>Alt</keycap>, click on
the key button, and then press the <keycap>K</keycap> key on the keyboard. This
would mean that anytime he or she held down the <keycap>Ctrl</keycap> and
<keycap>Alt</keycap> buttons and pressed <keycap>K</keycap> (while using
&kxmleditor;) the About &tde; display box would be called. </para>

selections. The right pointing arrow places any command selected in the left

The left arrow does just the opposite, removing any action selected in the right
