10.3.4.8.4 XML Miscellaneous Options
This dialog box allows you to change the autocompletion and schema settings for the XML Editor. You can access the Options dialog box from the Tools menu.
Auto Insert
Close Tags
The editor automatically adds an end tag when you type a right angle bracket (>) to close a start tag if the tag is not already closed if the autocompletion setting is checked, which is the default behavior.
The completion of an empty element does not depend on the autocompletion setting. You can always autocomplete an empty element by typing a backslash (/).
Attribute Quotes
When authoring XML attributes, the editor inserts the =" " characters and positions the caret (^) inside the double-quotes.
Selected by default.
Namespace Declarations
The editor automatically inserts namespace declarations wherever they are needed.
Selected by default.
Other Markup (Comments, CDATA)
Comments, CDATA, DOCTYPE, processing instructions, and other markup are auto-completed.
Selected by default.
Network

Schemas and document type definitions (DTDs) are downloaded automatically from HTTP locations. This feature uses System.Net with auto-proxy server detection enabled.

Outlining
