2. Navigation tool bar

Most commands which causes XXE to “jump” from one location to another automatically leave an invisible “back mark” behind them. Such marks, specifying a location in a document, are recorded in the navigation history. Menu items Go Back and Go Forward allow the user to navigate back and forth between the current location of the caret and these back marks.

The commands which automatically leave a back mark behind them are:

  • Edit → Reference → Edit Referenced Document and Edit → Reference → Edit Referencing Document.

  • Text search and replace commands such as Search → Search, Search → Find Next, etc.

  • Find and replace element commands such as Search → Find and Replace Element → Find Element, Search → Find and Replace Element → Find and Replace Element, etc.

  • The Validity tool.

The navigation history is common to all the documents opened in XXE. For example, clicking Go Back may cause XXE to jump to another document. And if this other document has been closed by the user, XXE will attempt to reopen it.

The navigation history is automatically cleared after closing all the documents opened in XXE.

Go Back

Go back in the navigation history.

Go Forward

Go forward in the navigation history.

Navigation

Displays a menu containing the following entries:

Show History

Display a dialog box containing all the entries of the navigation history. Clicking on an entry closes the dialog box and then causes XXE to jump to the corresponding location.

Remember this Location

Add the current location of the caret to the navigation history.

Clicking this menu item is rarely needed as most commands which causes XXE to jump from one location to another automatically leave an invisible back mark behind them.
