TagBar displays all of the elements defined in a Schema document as an
expandable element (or "tag") tree. Once a Schema is loaded into TagBar, you can
toggle individual elements on and off, drag and drop selected elements
into an XML document, and add contents to elements via context menus. Since TagBar
is generated from a Schema, it allows you to maintain the validity of your XML document.
