Features

Insert Snippets: Predefined, custom XML snippets to speed the codification process (Ctrl+Shift+i).
Find Cites: Highlight all of the possible cites in a legal XML file (if supported by the repository).
Highlight Previous Cite: Jump to the previous highlighted cite (if supported by the repository).
