By combining multiple association rules you can instruct Oxygen XML Editor to identify the type of a document. Oxygen XML Editor identifies the type of a document when the document matches at least one of the association rules. This tab gives you access to a Document type rule dialog box that you can use to create association rules that activate on any document matching all the criteria defined in the dialog box.
To create a new association rule, click the New button at the bottom of the Association Rules tab, or to edit an existing rule, click the Edit button.
The Document type rule dialog box includes the following fields and options:
- Namespace
