Edit Selection as SGML or XML Source
Choosing > (or > ) opens an Edit window with the current selection shown as ASCII text and markup. You can edit the text and use the
File menu to
Update Selection, which writes the changes back to the main document. Even if you have applied an
alias map to the document, this Edit window only displays real names, not aliases. Also, you can only enter real names when editing in this view.

Using this option within a document that has change tracking turned on can result in unexpected behavior.
