## 6. Tools menu

Declare Namespace

  Displays Declare Namespace dialog box.

  If the current document is conforming to a DTD, the dialog box allows to view the namespaces and their prefixes but not to modify them.

Edit Attribute

  Displays Attributes tool.

Check Validity

  Displays Validity tool, unless no validity errors are found in current document, in which case an OK message is displayed in the status bar.

  This command is disabled if current document is not constrained by a grammar.

  ### Tip

  Current document validity is automatically checked each time the document is saved, therefore unless you are fixing an invalid document you don't really need to explicitly use this command.

Check Spelling

  Displays the Spell tool, unless no spelling errors are found in current document[14], in which case an OK message is displayed in the status bar.

Automatic Spell Checker

  Toggle used to activate and deactivate the automatic (AKA on-the-fly) spell checker. See also option "Activate if this is specified in the configuration file".

Execute Command

  For advanced users only. Displays a dialog box which allows to choose a command by name. This is needed when a command is not bound to a keystroke, menu item or tool bar button. Example: command `convertCase` (see Section 13, “convertCase” in XMLmind XML Editor - Commands). This facility is especially useful when recording a macro-command.

  This menu item is hidden by default. You need to enable it by checking "Enable the 'Tools|Record Macro' Submenu" in Options → Preferences, General|Features section.

[14] By default, spell checking starts at the current caret position, but this can be changed by turning off the "Start from current caret position" option of the Spell tool.
