Move Tab to the Opposite Side

  Moves this tab to the opposite side of the document view area. When several documents are opened in XMLmind XML Editor, this has the effect to split the document view area in two parts. See also Options → Quick Preferences → Split Windows Vertically.

  This is equivalent to clicking on the dashed line found at the bottom of a tab.

Read-only Document

  This check box may be used to switch the active document from its normal, read-write, mode to a read-only mode and the opposite way round.

  Making a document read-only is useful in the following cases:

  - You want to open a document without locking it (because doing so would prevent your coworkers from modifying it).

  - You want to make sure that you'll not be able to modify the opened document by mistake.

  Note that there are several ways to directly open a document in read-only mode. Example: Shift-click on File → Open menu item or on the Open button of the main tool bar.

Close Document

  Closes the active document and switches to the next document opened in XMLmind XML Editor, if any.

  This is equivalent to clicking on the blue cross found at the right of the tab.
