CALS Table Viewer Commands

Command

Description

CALS Viewer: File (append)

Appends new file content to previous file content each time a new file is selected

CALS Viewer: File (replace)

Shows the current file content each time a new file is selected

CALS Viewer: Directory

Shows the content of all files in the same directory as the currently selected file

Behaviour Detail

Update the CALS Viewer by running a CALS Viewer command again. To reset the File (append) view, close the current CALS Viewer first.

If non-XML (or not well-formed) files are opened, a section for the file is added to the view but no file contents is rendered.

The focus of the `CALS Viewer' project is just CALS tables and text content. Content found outside CALS tables is not styled.
