InDesign provides the Structure pane and the Tags panel for working with XML content. The Structure pane displays
all the elements in the document and their hierarchical structure. To help you identify each element, InDesign
displays its element tag and an icon that indicates what type of content it holds. In addition, the Structure pane can
display the first few words of text in an element, called a snippet.
