Structure pane icons
The following icons appear in the Structure pane:
Rearrange structured elements
You can change the order and hierarchical rank of elements in the Structure pane. However, observe these rules:
• An XML document is required to have a single root element at the top of the structure. The root element contains
and is the parent to all other elements. Only the DTD (appearing as a DOCTYPE element), comments, and
processing instructions may appear above the root element in the Structure pane.
• Changes to the XML hierarchy structure may affect the appearance of tagged items on InDesign pages. For
example, making a text element the child of an element elsewhere in the structure also moves the text in the layout.
Icon Name Use
Root element Each document includes one root element at the top, which can be renamed but cannot be
moved or deleted.
