The
XML Parse Error window opens when any of your contributors contains XML errors
or cannot be parsed for any reason. Figure 1 shows an example.
A parser message describes the type and location of the first error encountered.
In addition, arrows on the row and column give the approximate location of
the error.
When you get an error, you have the following choices:
To continue working in XML Diff
Merge

- If the file is writable, you
can click View Source to edit the file and correct
the error. By default, this button opens the Windows Notepad application,
but you can configure it to open a different editing application.
- After editing the file, restart
your view, compare, or merge operation. Because the Parse Error window
indicates only the first error it encounters, you may need to repeat this
procedure several times to fix multiple errors.
