Example 5.31. Example for the Document element

This element of the XML file is used for entering the document type for which the view is defined and the class used for the view.

Attribute	Description
`historyIconCount`	Here you can enter the number of versions for which the status icon is shown in the version history of the document window. For example: `<Document type="Link" historyIconCount="3"/>` The following values are possible: -1: show the icon for all versions (not recommended) 0: show no icons in the version history n: show icons for the last n versions Default value is 5 Note: The value should not be chosen greater than 10 otherwise the editor slows down.
`type`	Name of the document type for which the view is configured.
`viewClass`	Here you can enter the class which should be used for displaying the documents. Normally you would not enter anything, and therefore use the default hox.corem.editor.generic.GenericDocumentView. You can use the TabbedDocumentView class for a tabbed view of the properties (see Section 5.1.2, “View Classes” and the description of element `Tab` below).
`compact`	The order of properties of a document in the CoreMedia Site Manager depends per default (`compact=false`) on the order defined in the `document-types.xml` or `editor.xml` file. If you set `compact=true` properties which do not use the full window width (int, date) will be shown consecutively.
`%varies;`	This entity stands for further configuration possibilities which depend on the API of the `viewClass`. The specific configuration possibilities must be obtained from your developers.

`editorClass`	This attribute is used for entering the class with which the field is edited.
