Documentation

rdfEditor is a notepad style GUI tool and as such should be relatively self explanatory. Some useful features that may not be immediately obvious are highlighted here.

Customisable Apperance

You can customise practically every aspect of the display of RDF, you can access the following dialogue by going to Options > Customise Appearance Settings

For information on advanced customisation see Advanced Settings

Converting between Formats

You can convert from one RDF format to another like so:

  1. Switch to the tab containing the document you want to convert from. This must be a valid RDF document as reported by the editor.
  2. Go to File > Save With... and select one of the supported formats
  3. A new tab will be opened with the document converted to the destination format

If you want to customize the conversion you can do so by first checking File > Save With... > Prompt for Advanced Writer Options?. With this option enabled rdfEditor will bring up a dialogue when you request a conversion allowing you to configure options as desired.
