Overview

XamlEditor is a Xaml editor for an APL variable or for a file on disk. This user command is able to show the Xaml in color with folding, print it, reorganize it so it is more readable according to some settings set by the user. It is inspired by the work of Robby Ingebretsen of Kaxaml (http://www.Kaxaml.com). It is particularly valuable for APLers that like to keep their Xaml in the workspace. With XamlEditor they have a tool to maintain it without effort.

<Settings>
  <EditorFont>APL385 Unicode</EditorFont>
  <EditorFontSize>14</EditorFontSize>
  <ReducePrecision>0</ReducePrecision>
  <Precision>10</Precision>
  <AttributeCounteTolerance>2</AttributeCounteTolerance>

  <RemoveCommonDefaultValues>1</RemoveCommonDefaultValues>
  <ConvertTabsToSpaces>1</ConvertTabsToSpaces>
