Sorry but the answer is no. XMLmind XML Editor does not implement a tag view, an XML source view. Moreover the use of of the tree view is strongly discouraged. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/why_choose_xxe.html See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/user/being_productive.html#no_tree_view I thought that our web site made this quite clear.

What is called a tag view is something different: it's a graphical view showing formatted blocks where start and end tags are depicted using nice, labeled, icons. > I like the tree view, and I?d like to > know if there is any possibility to support tag view as well. > > > What would you suggest for the XML tag view? I would say that it's impossible to do that in the general case using CSS alone. With CSS alone and a lot of efforts, you should be able to have a pseudo tag view for a given document type. We clearly cannot recommend to attempt to do that: lots of efforts, poor results. > Is this something that I > need the XXE customization services that you provide? > Sorry but the answer is no, once again. You seem to need a basic feature which should be built-in in the product. The customization service cannot be used to remove what can be seen by some users as a fundamental limitation of the product. Note that we are adamant that a user can do anything she/he wants using the styled view + the node path bar alone. That's why we do not plan to implement a tag view, an XML source view or even improve the usability of the tree view. Sorry for not being more helpful.
