==Functionality beyond syntax highlighting==

An XML editor goes beyond the syntax highlighting offered by many plaintext editors and generic source code editors, verifying the XML source based on an [[XML schema]] or XML DTD, and some can do it as the document is being edited in real time.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Goldberg |first=Kevin Howard |url=https://www.google.am/books/edition/XML/485Ol3iv2tAC?hl=en&gbpv=0 |title=XML: Visual QuickStart Guide |date=2008-01-01 |publisher=Peachpit |year=2008 |isbn=978-0321559678 |edition=2nd |publication-date=2008-01-01 |page=110 |pages=110 |language=639-1 |chapter=8}}</ref>

Other features of an editor designed specifically for editing XML might include element word completion and automatic appending of a closing tag whenever an opening tag is entered.

These features can help to prevent typographically originating errors in the XML code.
